Greddy exhaust sound clips

I made a few videos of my Greddy exhaust, at this moment with a custom hacked togheter to hold- Cattman Ypipe, and Warpspeed test pipe, all precats removed. VIAS powervalve is missing so all my power comes alive at around 4700RPM till redline, as you can see in one video when the power does kick in its pretty insane as to how big of a difference it makes. I will make a video of the car with HS headers sometime next week.

Its pretty low tone too, but it just depends on your speakers you are playing the video on. VTAK kicks in at around 4700 without the powervalve in the VIAS, and then it pulls really strong, not bad for 100K miles. I did a crusing video in 5th and then 4th, the 70-120MPH pull was done in 3rd and 4th.

CAI makes the intake a little bit quieter than just a normal Stillen/JWT cone intake, the CAI is alot deeper at top end than the POP. When I switched I noticed from JWT POP to the Place Racing CAI 3 years ago I noticed less growl from the intake, but top end growl makes the Max sound more like a 2JZ Supra.

I have a exhaust leak in my Ypipe which causes the poping noises on deceleration, I hope this is what your asking bout. Another thing is, people complain bout the flywheels on cars when you install Fidanza or JWT, and you can see my cars RPMs don't drop that much faster than a stock 3.0Ls. I have a Fidanza with Exedy Racing Stage 1 clutch.

You have a Greddy with HS headers?

Please make a vid of the outside sound and inside....I'm planning to get those but am skeptical because it might be too loud.

sounds good from inside, but that last vid clip from the outside sounds pretty bad to tell you the truth. I have a greddy catback, and cattman y-pipe, and mine is in and even, and not nearly as loud as yours. I may be due to the leak. you should get that fixed... but why did you have problems installing it? what were the issues? maybe i can help..

you don't understand I have a Warpspeed test pipe and no precats on my car, it makes the exhaust sound alot louder and raspier. At the same time 3.0L doesn't sound like a 3.5L at all. The leak is up front on the Ypipe, where the 2 banks meet togheter, its cracked there AGAIN, I don't have a flex pipe eighter cause it broke for like the 3rd or 4th time and I just have a straight pipe in there. No adjusting or anything will help my Ypipe, its garbage.

WTF Doesn't sound bad, but a little to raspy for my taste(i know you have exhaust issues). Should sound like a beast with those headers

hard to get a REAL sound with a camera, in person it sounds diff trust me, the in car sound sounds almost the same. As far as my tail lights, they are FACTORY 00-01 SE tail lights. I had the all RED GLE/GXEs on it from the factory, in the 1st week I had it I ditched the stock headlights for the Aniversary ones, SE tail lights, and AE front lip.
