Today i got my new exhaust installed. I went from a stock exhaust with 2 small exhaust leaks near the muffler to a new carsound (magnaflow) direct fit cat, dynomax intermediate pipes, magnaflow muffler, and dynomax turndown tailpipes.

As far as volume, it seems to be about as loud as my exhaust leak was (not sure if i can expect the magnaflow muffler to get louder). The muffler is definitely deeper and more refined than stock. From inside the car, it's almost impossible to hear under 20-30 MPH. At WOT it [obviously] increases in volume but wasn't obnoxious (atleast from inside the car) or raspy. Overall, there is no rasp or drone. I only heard the system from outside when he backed it out of the garage and turned it around in the parking lot but it sounded good then too.

My only complaint is about the dynomax tailpipes. The passenger side tailpipe seems to either hang 1/4"-1/2" lower than the driver side tailpipe or the passenger side tailpipe is alittle longer than the drivers side, giving the appearance that it hangs lower. I had these tailpipes installed on my hooker catback on my RS and had the EXACT same problem. I wouldn't really recommend the tailpipes on account of that. Now i am just trying to figure out what i can do to even them out---any suggestions would be appreciated!

If people want pictures i'll take some, and if people wnat soundclips, ill try to get those as well.

 

Sound clips are a def....that and some pictures would be nice...but mix matching pipes with other mufflers and different style tips always makes for custom sound.
