1. With the valves closed OEM quiet. With the valves open, a nice change at idle through WOT. Deep, low, louder tones noticeably louder than stock.
2. Carbon Fiber or Polished Black 3. 304 or Ti. 4. All are of equal importance. Good Luck ! |

1. With valves open slightly louder than stock but timbre of sound should be more MOTORSPORT. As opposed to deep American muscle type grumble.
2. Titanium. Rolled tips. 3. Titanium 4. Horsepower/torque, followed by weight reduction. Longevity ?? Lol. Who makes exhaust systems that don't last in this price segment ?

Sound: I'd like it to sound like a cross plane crank V8 with a lumpy cam
Tips: Black chrome Material: Whatever is OEM Most important: Sound Hp/torque improvement Longevity Weight isnt really a consideration for me on these very heavy cars ie it's not going to make much difference, if any. |

Question #1 is all about volume, I think many folks have preferences for exhaust note (tone?) more than decibel level. Maybe I'm wrong...
