Not bad but not even close to FX/G/Z sound, and the "ping" is called rasp lol

actually doesnt drone or become obnoxious at all. Yea maybe no the fx or anything or that matter.... but i do like the sound no less. All the driving videos i did sound bad, meaning wind or car traffic. They all were bad vids.
Like i said the muff is smaller than the oem. s1mply, i like how yours sounds., i listened to yours before i had done mine and wanted to get to what you sound like. you say you have the 40 series but mine is the 50. from what i hear it isnt as loud as the 40 series. whether rasp or what not the sound is growing on me. thanks for all your comments
s1mply, your max looks good with those 5 stars. i see your in RI. Not to far from Mass

Actually sounds pretty good, other than that rasp when you rev it quickly. Not too loud either.

it would be in your best interest not to, unless you want to be permabanned.

er...my point was that if you want people to see how it looks, post a pic. If you want people to know what it sounds like, post a sound clip or vid.

If I post a thread saying "I got some new rims, and they look good" with no pics, well...that would be dumb, wouldn't it?

In any case, you added a vid, so it's all good anyhow.

The hole is exactly there. The leak started slowly then one day on the way to work just got crazy loud. Looking for a stock exhaust from the cat back if anyone has one.

Look in 5th gen classifieds, it seems like at least once a week someone is selling a stock exhaust.
