Finally got some sound clips of new exhaust

Finally got videos posted of the sound clips with my final exhaust set up.
These videos were filmed with my HTC Radar. Sorry if the sound isn't up to par. Be sure to watch the video's in 720p, that improves the sound drastically.

The Exhaust set up: OBX-R V2 3.5 Headers/Ypipe, 240sx 3" test pipe, Custom 3" catback and OBX-R Series 5 muffler with 4" tip.

The first video is long. Feel free not to watch the whole thing but I do have a mix of idle, freeway (with windows up) and city driving. This way you can get an idea of how the car sounds in all circumstances. No, this car isn't your grandma's Buick. It's loud! To loud for most people. I love it, if you don't then go back to driving grandma's Buick.



The second video is outside of the car in the driveway. The car is parked about 15-20ft away from the camera. I plan to do a flyby video in the future as well.

Would love to hear it in person. Sounds awesome in the first video but sounds raspy in the second. I'm sure its just the cameras fault

The muffler is alright. It's raspy from the 2-3k range. After that it sounds very sporty.

It does have a bit of an echo from the carport. I plan to do some drive by videos this week. Regardless if you like it or not, I love it. That's all that matters.

Cops here really don't care around here. Besides when it's in 5th gear at 30-40mph, it really isn't loud at all. If you were to pass a cop WOT stock he'd probably pull you over for speeding regardless.

Just unmodded my 98 from that same loudness.....removed test pipe and installed cat and a Cattman 2.5" x 22" long resonator, now waiting on MES catback and I'll probably do a 5" x 8" x 18" Magnaflow muffler inconjunction with a Magnaflow 22" x 4" round resonator!

Cost of the pipe. Can't remember off the top of my head. I think about $80-100

I didn't replace the Flex. It doesn't make any noise at all. I even jacked the car up and reved it. I couldn't hear anything come from the flex. So I left it.

The back fires and pops are fun on downshifts
