very nice.

i daily drove my chevelle for a year and half with summit turbo mufflers, and moroso spiral flows.
i have to say, the x pipe and spiral flows made a huge difference, and there was zero interior resonance.

there is less resonance with the xpipe and morosos than there is with my magnaflow cat/corsa cat back on my bird.

i am switching to spintechs i think this summer, so the resonance will be doubled.

Is it really as loud as the vid makes it seem? Sounds like cutouts, lol.

I think its louder than the vid makes it seem. Its much deeper than with the open cutout.
Lots of resonance but I was driving with the hatch flap thingy open(had to put the old exhaust in there)

There is lots with it closed too. Once it is dumped before the axle, you will get interior resonance no matter what.

Small price to pay for the badass sound and power

Man, if it really is louder than the vid makes it seem then it's gonna be an absolute cop magnet. I love loud cars, but I love the option of making them quiet (like with a cutout). As long as you love it, dude!

I drove right by a cop yesterday while he was standing outside his car. He didnt even look my way, but it was on the Hwy.

Really the car wont get drivin that much except a couple cruise spots and to the dragstrip. Also if I ever feel like I want a full time street car I can always throw on the old exhaust, then switch to the TDs when Im going to the track.

I feel ya on this one. I was gonna go T/D and eliminate my Magnaflow but decided to put on a electric cutout. Don't want Portland PD giving me crap

LOL, yeah I had my Borla cutout wide open a few years back and I got pulled over. The guy was more upset about my car being loud than he would have been if I had been smoking the tires right by him, lol.

Ive been pulled over multiple times with my exhaust, but for other reasons such as speeding and tag light out.

ONe officers thats pulled me over 4 times usually says, "turn this thing off I cant even hear myself think."

But ive never got a ticket.

Im not that worried, as long as your polite and explain its a "Show car" They are pretty cool as long as your not a jack ***. The condtion and my miles for the car should help me get out of trouble too.

if you run tailpipes on it, you should be fine.
for how loud all my vehicles were, i got a away with it a lot because i ran tailpipes out the back. for some reason to me its a little quieter than dumps, definitely better on your ears inside, and yeah its loud, but to me its not as bad as dumps under the vehicle.

Supposedly its illegal in Ga to dump your exhaust before the axle, but ive never checked the laws myself.

I'm pretty sure it in in many places.
My exhaust guy told me that if you dumped before the axle, you would fail a visual inspection in MO.
I prefer to exit at the tail and keep the vibrations down anyhow, so it wasn't a huge deal to me.

Im sure its not much louder than the millions of 750 + horsepower cars that show up at the cruise nights around chicago. I drove my GTO with 2 chamber flowmasters and a decent size cam around to cruise nights, once with cutouts open right by a cop, and they never even budged.
