Default QTP's new stainless AR3 muffler *vid added*

Previously only used magnaflow. I was concerned about keeping the noise police happy and not sounding like a total racecar. This is by far the deepest sounding muffler I've ever had. Completely stainless inside and out. The only downside is they havn't really advertised them at all? I only found out about them by word of mouth.

I've tryed 3 different camera's and none of them properly can catch the audio of the car idling inside the garage or outside the garage. Currently waiting on video's to upload of the best I could do on the idle. Will update with track video's in the next week or two.

I have a pair of 4" AR3 mufflers.
They definately have a very deep sound to them.

Definetly need a sound video. I was thinking magnaflow for my exhaust setup. But they just don't sound good. Looks great though.

Sorry fellas having issues with the upload. Going to bring a different camera and upload directly instead of trying to email it off a phone or wireless link to youtube.

Really want to post up a few outside video clips of some passes but my cameraman went to new orleans for the uk/louisville game this weekend.

Also forgive the pieced together y-pipe. It was done with mandrel bends from a local diesel place with a little mixed in aluminized.

With exhaust like this that fits even with my suspension I can't see any reason to mess with true duals or go over the axle.

The sound is so deep it doesn't really pick it up correctly on the camera microphone. I will get some driving inside/outside videos up and some track passes up once I get the tune lined out better this week. I'm no tuner so its a learning curve to get things done correctly.

For the above questions you will need to call. I think I recall something about not posting pricing in forum rules?

You won't find them on their site yet, you should call and give them a nudge to put up some advertisement.

Glad they didn't copy the material it was made out of.

Nope, it is a custom made metal mesh screen covered with an outwears prefilter. Fits under stock hood slightly trimmed.

If your interested in the same setup PM me for info. No sponsors can come close to anything like this as I did try to go through what they had available.
