If I were looking for a tamer exhaust I'd probably lean towards the Speedarts since I like the lower tone (between the two). Thanks LS for sharing the video, your pcar looks great!

For now still enjoying my rowdy AH's:

Yeah, tamer exhaust is for me. Agree on hard saying on is te best, I do have my favorites...

Also +1 on live is better and the only way to go but clips do give you a good feel for it and like pics I just can't get enough

Love hearing all the exhaust notes, not just p-cars. The AH are a bit more on the hard core side (loud) but I do like their tone.

Nice clips by the way and thanks for the compliments porsch3/Redridge
(those air cooled p-cars do sound good!)

yay somebody agrees with me

Totally agree-

Ideally someone looking to upgrade their exhaust would try and hit up a few local pcar group meets. It's the best way to hear a few different exhausts and maybe get a comparative ride or two.

I like the fact the SpeedArt's are made with 309(?) stainless... they seem to be the only one I can find using that higher grade...

Nice Sound Ludwig. SSK should be on your next to do list if its not done. Cheap and well worth the mod.

Hey Chao

Thanks

Hey Bud,

Been checking in here once in a while but its just so darn slow making me feel like I am on dial up. Sometimes I just give up.

It is indeed a slippery slope.
