It's loud for one thing, I've had coworkers tell me they hear me around town. At idle it's very quiet, get the RPMs up around 4K and it howls. The sound now matches the aggressive look of the car. I'm very happy with the x-pipe and recommend it greatly. I will work something out to video the car on the road. -T.J.

And have you put them on a scale to see if there is a weight savings?

The setup is from TopGear Tuning UK.

10 lbs off the rear.

Was less that half the price of Fabspeed.
