The sound is deeper and more refined. Not at all overwhelming in the car but clearly there. The best part is in car from 3000-6500 rpm just sounds like the car should sound smooth deep and balanced.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Can't wait for a sound clip. Fabspeed is really onto something here... Whats the seat-of-the-pants difference in performance?

The seat of pants dyno is even more impressive. Between the better sound and notable hp difference the car is much more fun. I'll be interested to see if my lap times are any better this spring. As I told Nick from Fabspeed I would also imagine the car is getting better fuel economy but I just cant keep my foot out of it enough to actually find out.

Are you going to the AM Owners Club Lime Rock Event on June 25th or any other events in the NE? I'll have my car sorted by then & hope to see you there.

Awesome, very healthy gains up top. It smoothened out the power band too

Are you using stock muffler or something else? I removed my secondary cats & installed Quick Silver de-cat pipes.

The early generation cars that only have one set of cats we did just that! 2005-2010 Vantage V8's have one set of cats that we removed and replaced with out HJS 200-cell cats followed by an X-Pipe.

Sport Cat X-pipe Exhaust System

For these newer Vantage V8's 2010+ there are 2 sets of cats, this x-pipe bypasses the redundant secondary set that is not monitored by O2 sensors.

Awesome,

Great price too. Would love to see some I house dynos as well just to see what you guys do on your I house dyno to compare to your other V8V dynos you have done in the exact same dyno (every dyno is obviously different)

Great job on finally bringing this to market!

Perfect opportunity!

If you could measure both separate and combined with the tune that would be awesome.

So glad you guys came out with this solution. It really is the perfect exhaust system for the later V8s
