That look and sound great!

I've been prospecting a new quieter exhaust for my vert, never cared how obnoxious my exhaust was till the swap, now it pains me everytime I drive it. I was also looking at the Apexi WS2, but I have to admit, I'm partial to the stock look of the dual tips.

Where did you pick that up from?

Thanks!

Not that loud at all, but its understandable considering all the restrictions in there.

Do you like it?

What restrictions?

Yes, I like it very much. I was afraid it would be loud due to the 3" piping, but it's MUCH more quiet than I thought it would be.

Cat, 22" resonator.

I realize they are all probably straight through designs but still. I have a 7' peice of straight 3" pipe feeding a diesel truck canister. That s*** is loud.

For my tastes i think yours is too quiet, but i am glad it came out the way you wanted it to.

my exhaust is quiet in the low RPMs and louder up top. thats with equal length manifold, and full turbo back exhaust 2 resonators and the muffler.

the BRM is good stuff IMO, but i just never cared for the "dual" type. Congrats on the purchase Ryan!!

Correct - The resonator is straight-through (no baffles or packing, it uses resonance to cancel out unwanted frequencies), and the Magnaflow cat we use is a high-flow design.

I hate loud exhausts.

That's why we make a single tip design as well!

I had an old school Apex N1 Single before this and I can tell you from having owned a loud exhaust for 5 years, it gets old. Plus I'm going for a more low key look to the car, and this exhaust fits the bill perfectly.

I'm perfectly happy with it and don't regret one thing about this purchase.

I don't have brakes ATM, so I'm trying to keep driving it to a minimum. I did try and take it down the block the night I made that vid of the exhaust, but when I pulled out of the parking lot, one of the wires for the MAP sensor broke and the car died. By the time I got it fixed I needed to get home, so I just parked it and haven't had a chance to mess with it again yet.

LOL! You're the 3rd person to ask for that. I've got some projects around the house I need to take care of this weekend, but I'm planning on starting work on it again next weekend. Barring some catastrophe, I should be able to get a burnout vid next weekend.
