    Default Installed Solo cat back and wow!

    Yesterday I installed a solo mach balanced cat back and I must say it now sounds perfect! IMO it should have sounded this way from the factory! Perfect for a DD if anyone is considering the same version. Here is a video of the first start up.

    Can you hear it from inside the car while driving or is it quiet? How much did it cost?

    I can hear it slightly upon accelerating but once I am cruising it is pretty silent. At WOT it sounds really nice. I paid $840 shipped.

    Dod is still enabled. Been driving it for over two weeks now and the it is noticeable when dod turns on, but it doesn't bother me. I have the mach balanced version which is the quietest one.

    Glad you like it. I remember when I had my solo exhuast installed. It was my first catback on any car. I let a friend drive the car past me so I could hear it and I couldn't believe how awesome it was!
