Took a while to see the after link. Was the before done in sport mode? I am assuming the sound is the same with the fabspeed no matter what mode?

Sounds pretty mean but will grab some attention.

IMHO - not so much. To me all black looks like every kid's Honda where they sprayed the wheels with Plasti-Dip. Meh. The silver accent sets off the gloss black, and gives a defining edge to the rim to separate it from the tire. Maybe it's an older thing - but I've gotten several favorable comments on the rim appearance with the silver accent. The black to me is too much me-too and murdered look.

Just my opinion - you're entitled to your own opinion - just as I am..

Nice ride. I just picked up a '13 GTS a couple weeks ago and love it as well. Considering the Fabspeed bypass pipes so thanks for posting the video.

How does it sound in the interior while in non-sport mode now? Is it louder than stock in sport mode or about the same?

I would say non sport mode is louder but not as loud as stock pipes and sport. That's what I like about it to. You have option of a little rumble with non sport or a lot with sport. Before it was way to quite. Only thing that you may dislike is pretty loud cold crank up.

I totally understand your option but I wanted a mean look and black does that for me. Wife wanted them black also as she doesn't like silver rims and it's her daily Driver.

Absolutely PERFECT. Thanks a ton Chris! Exactly what I wanted to know and pretty much what I was thinking would be the case. The initial louder RPM flare on cold start makes it even better, IMO
