PeterJMC Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hovied, your going to be at the Mid-A install day right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mryat Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hov, thanks for the kind words. Your right we had to make it quieter but even our louder mufflers passed the 95db test. It should get a little louder as time goes on. I haven't had time to do any dyno tests on the system but you should feel some differance in the car. I'm still trying to talk SOA into doing some for the wagons but it's a hard sell. I will try doing some test fitting on my own and see what really has to be done with the system to malke it fit. As far as the tips sticking out that is a no no, due to the fact some A/H will burn there leg and sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How expensive can it really be to add 2" to the lengths of the tips??? The sooner you can test fit, and report back with what needs to be done to make it fit the wagon the sooner I will buy. I *really* want this exhaust because it is EVERYTHING I want in one (except for maybe the quad tips, but I can live without that). BTW, how did you guys get it so quiet?

Is the boxer rumble more pronounced? Thanks. I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 how's the volume compared to the borla (probably the quietest out there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaStaMooN Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 how does it sound compared to the posted clips on pimpmyauto.com? Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexster Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 But on the bright side i'm sure these mufflers will break in and get a bit louder....Or at least i'm hoping. funny, when the exhaust is too loud everyone says it will quiet down. but i'm glad it's quiet. can't wait to hear one in person...

melayout Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 From the clips here, here and here, it doesn't sound that quiet. I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovied Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Yes, I will be at the meet this weekend, granted I wont get there until noonish. Ok....The drive home, its weird at idle it sounds quieter than the prodrive- but driving its actually a we bit louder..... When I say louder I mean deep and non obtrusive- I like... If you have ever owned a siamese cat it purrs just like it.... Never could hit WOT since I live only 6 miles from work and the speed limit is only 35 the whole way. ______________ tHe HoV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mryat Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Crash, the problem is if there isn't a big demand for the LGT SW exhaust SOA will not approve one. I want to first check and see if it's to loud. If all that is needed is to lengthen the tips mabe we can make a special deal and make a limited run but it may take a little time. I have talked to SOA and am waiting to here back from them. All i'm asking is just be patient. Thanks again for your support in this matter. Does anyone with a SW live near central N.J. ???
