I think it sounds terrible. Only one thing worse than a raspy exhaust, and that's a LOUD raspy exhaust.....Sounds like the Kart class at an autocross...

So many people think of cars as simple devices to take them from point A to point B. They never pop the hood or do any of their own maintenance let alone personalize their car. I applaud the OP for taking the chance to be different.

wheres the wing????
ur not gonna have the downforce to handle all that extra power you got from your exhaust without the proper 46" adjustable apc carbon fiber replica wing!! On a side note, it is different, and it seems thats the route you are trying to take. Props for originality in a world of swagger jackers! I'm just happy with my cattman. Sometimes going for the tried and true means is the smarter way to go.

At idle it sounds just like mine (Flowmaster dual exhaust) but when i rev, there is no raspy sound. There is a sound clip floating around here some where

Heard it at the drag strip last week... It was the loudest import there. Unique sound for sure, but it doesn't sound like a VQ at all... more like a huge 4 cylinder engine would sound like.

But it does earn points for being unique! Took me a few seconds to figure out it was indeed a yellow Maxima making that sound

No offense, but your ride is not unique. Well maybe it is, I have never seen purple neon in a Maxima.

car does sound good as its being ripped down the 1/4, its loud and not that raspy, on the highway it also sounded good, it made a nice quite rumble when cruising and when you pinned it, it screamed!! lol
