Default Fister Stage IIIs - in-cabin sound clips?

I'm thinking about an exhaust upgrade and considering the Fister Stage IIIs. I've listened to the sound clips posted in older threads and on Darin's site, but I'm looking for some sound clips from within the cabin. Does anyone have a pointer to any? Apologies if this has been asked a hundred times before, but I couldn't find anything via the search function.

The in cabin sound of the III's is subtle and not (too much) louder than stock...and never never resonates. I have never recorded the sound becuase there is not much to record...it just sounds like a normal exhaust. With the windows open you will get the full effect of the exhaust if you are driving next to a wall or other sound reflecting object. Overall, a great exhaust!

Just installed Stage III on Thursday. No sound clips (yet). Just echoing ABCar, very civil in the cabin and even WOT they are not overpowering inside. But outside "they" do know you're on the way!

I'm actually hoping for a little more noise in the cabin I've got the motorsound package on my car but it still sounds pretty polite inside to my ears.

Oh it is louder in the cabin, just not annoying.

Can you watch 1080P video? I have a 20 sec sound clip, but it's like 130mb.

Here is my you tube link to a FISTER III drive I made last spring. The Microphone was mounted under the rear spoiler, outside.

That sounds a lot raspier than I expected...maybe just a function of where the microphone is, etc. I am hoping for something louder and throatier than motorsound mufflers, but not something that takes away the Porsche air cooled sound...

Try the II's they will be perfect for you. More tame but still very deep. Hint, get the II's with the wide oval tips...they will magnify the deep tones but the whole package is more tame than the III's.

I have the stage III's and am wondering if anyone finds the noise to be a bit higher at the 2500-2900 range. Below or above this range the sound is fine but I just seem to get a lot of cabinet noise ( almost a drone or resonance) a this rpm, especially at medium throttle. For example third gear, medium throttle, windows up, slowly in ceasing revs between 2500-2900.
Anyone else experience this.

Send me a PM with your email, & I'll give you access.
It is a bad video, so don't expect much, it's my first attempt with my new camera.
