I love it! Sitting at idle, you can easily mistake my car for a V8. And it sounds good up to about 3k rpm. From then on it gets the notorious high pitched noise that the V6's get. But even still, there's no better feeling you can get then to know that your riding first class.

Got any dyno charts to prove that? Is it a cat-back or just the muffler and tips? It may sound good to you, but have you ever seen it cut open? It's nothing but restriction inside that muffler. Another reason why I chose Borla.. no restriction. They don't use cheap parts like Flowmaster does. So I may not have a really deep tone like I would like to have. But I'd rather sacrifice that any day for a nice flowing exhaust. If you research an do some study on Flowmaster, you will find out that their mufflers actually rob you of performance. That's why I always recommend Magnaflow if your trying to stay within a reasonable price.
