Well, we were finally able to grab some sound clips of the MS6 dual exhaust. I'd like to preface these videos clips with a couple notes:

First, the car in the videos has a full turboback exhaust. We were hesitant to make the video clips with this car because we wanted to demonstrate exactly how quiet the catback really is. However, you guys have been waiting for a long time for sound clips, so we just figured that we'd grab some clips now, and you can consider the volume of the exhaust (which is surprisingly quiet even with a downpipe) a worst case scenario since this is as loud as it can ever be.

Second, we grabbed these clips in a hurry since we were running out of daylight. So we fully intend on getting some more, well, 'polished' clips once we install the system on to a car without a downpipe. So these clips are only temporary.



Objective observations on the sound: I've never heard such a deep rumble from a 4-cylinder before. When we were editing the sound clips (especially the idle sound clip) and playing them back, our crappy PC speakers were able to vibrate the desk! It really sounds mean without being overwhelming. The volume at idle is basically stock, but as I said the tone is much deeper. Volume under wide open throttle is definitely louder than stock, but I'm curious to hear how it sounds on a car without a downpipe. There is some resonance with the windows down at certain RPM's, but with the windows up the car is silent inside. I think the CAI noises are louder then the exhaust! So for you guys looking for a quiet alternative to the single exhaust, this is the catback for you!

Hey, thanks a lot!!

We're still going to try to grab some better, lengthier clips once we can get this catback on a car without a downpipe. But thank you very much!

Thanks for all the positive feedback!

I'm going to try to grab some better sound clips, and when I do I'll post them up. I'm going to try to grab an in-cabin clip, as well as another more aggressive neutral revving clip. If you guys have any requests let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Also, we were discussing the order in which we'll be manufacturing some upcoming products, and it looks like the SPEED6 dual exhaust is next on the list. So for those of you who are waiting with great anticipation, we're getting close! I *think* production may begin next week, but I'll have to see if we need to order material first, which may delay things about a week or so. But I will defeinitely keep updating the thread as things progress.

Sounds good to me. That should just about be enough time for the gash I put in my hand today repairing house trim to heal before installing the exhaust.

Oh man, should we start including cotton gauze and tourniquets with our exhaust products?

Nah, I rarely if ever cut myself deeply enough to gush while working on a car.
