Sounds pretty good. Doesn't seem that deep in the video. Sounds kind of like the quieter WRX mufflers.

EDIT: Forgot to ask, is it just a muffler, or did you take out the resonator too?

if im going down a hill at highway speeds and i let of the gas completely its a pretty loud roar so i just press the gas lightly and its pretty quiet.

Its just a muffler i should take some pictures of how i installed it and i may do some drive by videos. i want to know how it sounds under WOT!!

That's pretty impressive bass for just a muffler. Sounds pretty good, and best of all it's tucked under the bumper, so Johnny Law won't notice as much.

Yeah, two requests: 1) Do exactly what you did in that vid, except at the end, put it in gear and drive away (like you would normally, from a stoplight or similar). 2) Cruising and WOT runs please. :-) If it isn't obnoxious, I'm going to have to get one.

exactly, i have so many friends burned by the long arm of the law for mufflers being too loud.
