i have the loud one, and well, it's quite loud.

a 3.5 hour drive from LA to SF will give you a headache for 1 day. although, admittedly, i've gotten quite used to it and i would never consider removing it - to me, it's the spirit of the car.

i heard james (from sharkwerks) drive away yesterday when he dropped me off @ the train station and it sounded *quite* nice

Take some aspirin before you drive with Fabspeed> The drone is unbearable. Your wife will never drive with you.

I guess you are passing on my EP exahust To be honest, I wasn't really ready to sell them, hence the high price. You may wanna check out cargraphic exhausts also, I heard that they are great.

Best of both worlds with this one!

I have the medium, but I honestly think it depends on the driver (what he/she likes) and you will never get the answer you are looking for!

I sometimes turn radio off as I love the sound of the car especially when you put the foot down, and the sound in tunnels is pure awesome. Other times when travelling long distances I have radio on and it can get on your **** a bit, Yip! around the 2500 mark it's even more annoying! but hey if you want the power and can stand the sound, then it's one hell of a system, you will be happy.

I have the loud, and recently drove from dc to West Palm...980 miles nonstop. It wasn't bad at all. The resonance is heard from 2600-3100 rpm, and at 80-90 miles an hour, you don't really hear it.

If you don't want a loud exhaust, don't buy the fabspeed. If you want a rumbling, mean sounding exhaust, it's your best choice. I can understand why some people don't like it, but I wouldn't swap it for anything on the market, and I've heard them all.

I had it on my awd turbo, and thought it was awesome for the car. I now like the sound of cargraphic better.

My wife will not go with with me when I have the straight pipes, she says it gives her a headache oh well. She doesnt complain that much about the Fabspeed exhaust and says it bearable ! However my 12yo daughter LOVES the sound of the straight pipes as much as I do.

Haha, Bajo i asked before but maybe you didnt see my post, would you please be able to take a video of your car, startup and revving, maybe acceleration? Im sorry if its too much to ask of you, im just undecided on whether to go with the fabspeed muffler bypass pipes since i have cat bypass pipes as well

Thankyou, Martin!

Martin,
Sorry i didnt see it. I will try to find some footage of when we had a "mini 6speed meet" in South bend at Tire Rack. That is when I had the straight pipes on, right now I put the Fabspeed back on but it will be coming off before I get her out of storage this year as quiet for me. Once I heard the straight pipes I was addicted to the sound, but I did my wife a favor and thats it no more favors for her she is cut off !
I will post some clips ASAP.

Bajo
