It would be nice to see more pics of those who chose the BRM path to post some pic's of your new pride and joy! So the rest of the Orgers can see, hear, & smell your new product! I guess BRM headers will be next since their on the move now with 2.25", 2.5" and 3" system for the 3rd and 5th Gens!!!!.....How did they skip the 4th Gens? LOL! But anyway I'm still waiting on a BRM (In Cabin Video!!!) Let's show it's real world attributes......

Imagine BRM made headers... I'll be buying their 3" piping kit to piece together an exhaust for my '97. Anyone interested in a quieter setup while maintaining high performance should look into the dynomax vt muffler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kJwwvYNQVA

I made one on the way home today while it was raining...sort of a fail but if it's not raining tomorrow i'll make another. There seems to be a lot of road noise that is heard over the exhaust. I'll be honest, with gutted cats and a 3" test pipe it is going to be quite louder. You can hear the exhaust at every rpm. Only time you can't hear it is if you are cruising over 70, out of the "drone zone".

The provided 14" muffler will net a lot of noise, by getting a piping kit along with quieter muffler will bring down the noise a bit. But I have to say...it sounds amazing the way it is. Everyone will think it is a different car when you pass them

You'll be very happy with it and if you drive it daily then get the resonator.

My very crappy attempt. First WOT was when the transmission was cold. The rest of it is plain boring. At the end, some lady in a SUV didn't read a sign that says "Yield to ramp" hence the honk, she ended up giving me the bird probably thinking she was better than the law.
Oh and I think my brakes are going out...

Sounds good. While you were cruising, I heard more wind noise than I did exhaust. Were all of your windows up?

It does sound good! I'll take a updated video of a rear rev up since it's broken in with more mods now. Just have to find a deserted place here.

Took you almost a year for you to post up a vid. Better late than never

Sounds good

I spy a FL plate, but your location is in TX? Where at in FL did you used to live?

The headers got installed less than a month ago.

I renewed my plates for 2 years a few months ago, so ill ride it out till it expires. I used to live in Orlando, FL.
