Really i want to know at idle and low rpm how much lowder it is than a bypass with the flappers open.
Regardless of what anybody else says; the SW Track Exhaust is A LOT louder than the bypass. I have had both. IMO the biggest difference between the two is the vibration and resonance. You will have some transmitted into the cabin with the track exhaust. None with the bypass. Even at idle you'll feel like your garage walls are vibrating. However, It does sound AMAZING and exactly like a race car...

if you keep the car at low rpm it remains manageable. At idle is fine. You just have to be careful with the throttle because the slightest spike and it will bark.

granny shifting is key to commuting around neighbourhood without making a scene....

Ive got this setup (Europipe Track) and it shakes the whole neighborhood up, literally it sets off my neighbors car alarm...love it. WOT next to a wall of some sort and you'll swear the bricks are gonna tumble down.

damn it. when I took off the center muffler to install the RSS X-pipe, I threw away the muffler - which had the exhaust tips on it that the Europipe needs. Crap. I want this. Crap.

Merging the two banks is key to making these engines sound good. That's one area where the europipe fails. Besides being incredibly loud, it won't sound as sweet either. Compare stock 996 and 997 GT3 exhausts, and you know what I mean.

I would only buy it if maximum weight savings is the ONLY objective.

Sounds good but needs RSR style tips.

Paul2x the sound is nothing compared to reality trust me on this one, the video i shot wasn't clear enough it is way much louder. IMHO youtube vids wont do justice to any aftermarket exhaust. You will love it once you rip it for the first time
