Sound of just a RPI GTM axle back?

Nicname · 01-06-2012, 06:24 PM

looked through some searches and found many running it with a different xpipe or catless or w.e.
If I was to keep everything stock and simply add the rpi gtm axle back would the car sound amazing? Hows the drone? As i said, all the posts concern the full system or it paired with something else. I just wanna hear the comments from those that have ran just the axle back and if they could comment on the drone for a DD. Thanks!

I have just the axle back GTM at the moment, there is some drone but nothing really terrible. It's nothing compared to the full system, but it really depends on how sensitive you are to drone...

Any way you could rate or describe how bad it is??

Tough to say, but when compared to stock yea it drones more obviously lol.

After about 3.5K RPM its pretty quiet inside actually. But maybe that's just my skewed view since I had the full race system for a year now before going back to axleback only.

lol i see the full system was to much?? Is it easy to have a convo? listen to music? I usually keep my music pretty loud so would i even really notice it??

It sounds awesome bro...don't be worried at all. There is a bit of drone until you get to about 3k rpm then it gets quiet inside. If you keep your music loud you will barely notice it.

Well, now that it's season down here there is a lot more traffic and when the revs are constantly going up and down instead of staying steady it does get a bit overwhelming. That's why I took off the x-pipe. It's definitely not a quiet system, but the gains are great and the sound is badass

With both the the axle back and full system, having a convo is easy and music is fine too
