I can feel the power gain.. but really for a couple HP to get a stock sound by spending hundreds of dollar isn't such a smart idea. I got my money back on the muffler. I'm gonna do a custom flowmaster full exhaust at next paycheck now. I can't make up my mind lol

I'm glad u like but why ANYONE would want their luxury car to sound like a mustang v6 or ford ranger with dual exhaust added is beyond me. This car sounds like it ate broccoli for a week an has bad gas and cant quit passing flatulences.
btw did i mention it sounds awful? .
I'm glad u decided to make changes to your set-up. I just read that.

wow, I'm pretty late on this. I'm not reading all f4 pages, but it's really funny and a pretty tough crowd out here. O well, i thought it sounded like... different. i dunno, how would you feel if you saw a punch buggy with an exhaust note like that? doesn't fit, i think a low tone runble would've been better fitting with the image of the TL. I feel for you bro!
thats soooo true... I say the same thing to Lexus IS owners, it's still a toyota!!! DEAL WITH IT! lol.
but the kids in the vids are asian, I think thats why they like it loud and ricey. i mean, if you go to puerto rico, they love putting sounds systems on anything with wheels, and slamming the ride to the cement!!! When I went to the ATL, I saw SO MUCH CHROME!!! I wanted to shot myself. It's all about culture.
Atleast he doesn't have a hood scope, some air vents, a Boeing 747 wing, crazy airbrushed art and rediculouse 22" chrome Rims.

it's crazy, I know a guy who has HID's on his headlights, HID's on his fog lights and HID's on his reverse lights! He also has blue neon lighting underneath the car and wheel well's crazy how he thinks it's "cool"

Atleast the car looks nice, SSM is a very hot color, especially at night. Hey OP, why don't you work on the work of the car to make the sound of your exhaust fit? you should def get some black/smoked (19" x 8" in the front 19" x 10" rear)concaved rims! drop 2 inch, camber kit in rear, ASPEC it up, JnC custom headlights, black out roof, and HID's? that would def look hot, and cancel out all the negative energy from the ppl that don't like the exhaust note.
