    Ditto. Regardless of how little drone there is with the J pipes, without a muffler this will not pass the wife test. Or the "been there, done that when I was a teen" test that I put it through myself. Thanks though.

    I guess your wife is much different than the rest of ours!! The exhaust easily passed my wife and kids test. No drone and just a little louder than stock. The AFM vibration can virtually be tuned out by adjusting the J. To each his/her own.

    I want to send a huge thanks out to JEC_G8GT for taking the time out to let me hear his car. He has the Mach Shorty's with the Solo cats. It sounds amazing in person, the videos posted online do not do it justice. I will confirm that there is no drone either, it is actually very quite on the inside. Now I just need to find some extra cash to afford this. I hate when unexpected bills pop up. I may just buy the cats and wait until I have the money for the rest of the system. Again I must say, at full throttle this sounds very mean.

    Finally got mine done. Cats and all. Plus the new tune files from Vector. Going to play with the J-pipes a bit tomorrow. Still no drone, but the car feels rougher than it did. AFM is noticeable. Sound is much deeper and maybe a tad louder than I was looking for, but that most likely is due to the cats. Fit was good. Did most of the install in my too small garage with a bum ankle and an abscessed molar (heck of a week). Took it to a Raleigh shop and had it tweaked and the tips welded on. Going to do the karate run to Greensboro tomorrow and see how she runs! No more refined sports sedan. Now it's raw muscle!
    Now if I can get rid of that irritating whine in the throttle body..........

    Great to hear that you like it. One thing...before you mess around with the J pipes, give your new tune some time to learn in. I have some experience with tuning and I will tell you that it takes a bit of driving for the new tune to learn in completely. The roughness you describe might go away once it is learned in.
