For anyone shopping for exhausts, allthough this is a great great thread, in my (very) humble opinion, there is no replacement for a live audition. I think it's a must to listen with your own ears and not rely solely on internet video and sound clips. Reason? There is no standard in placement of microphone, type of microphone, recording level, etc., and this causes huge, and inaccurate, variation from one recording to another. A couple of the clips here for example show the exhaust systems to be much more quiet than in real life, in comparison to my own live auditions.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, a majority (if not all) of consumers' video camcorders default to automatic recording level, meaning as the exhaust sound gets louder, the recording level is automatically decreased (compressed) such that the dynamic range is lost. In some higher-end Sony camcorders, the recording level could be switched to "manual," and this IMHO should be the mode.
FWIW, I just posted my "final" impression of the Cargraphic here, after 2 months:

Linear Mode
