    Just managed to get home, and this was the best I could do with pictures given the time, natural levels of light, and the fact that I'm taking these with a phone.





    Overall, I'm really happy with it so far, and it'll only sound better from here!

    I also attempted to get an halfway decent video of the old man revvin' it up, but more are definitely on the way.
    Just as a bit of a disclaimer, it does sound a tad bit deeper in person. So don't start judging it too harshly quite yet!



    A local meet-up/photo shoot is going down this weekend, so I'll be sure to snag some pics/videos while I'm there!

        Very clean sounding. How does it sound in the upper rev range?

          Nice sound. +1 on higher r3v sounds.
          Did you keep the cats or is that just y-pipe on your pic's?

            Gah, sorry I haven't gotten a good chance to get more sound/video clips recently. I'm still looking out for potential opportunities!

            I've started to notice what seems to be a bit of drone at 1,500RPM, but it typically only appears under relatively cold conditions.

            In my opinion, it sounds pretty damn awesome, especially at high revs, but I've really only heard it from inside the cabin. It even sounds like it's toned down quite a bit since it was installed.

              That sounds awesome.

              In for some higher revv sounds!

                Yep, sounds like a magnaflow 14815. Sounds good with the cat and resonator. You will probably end up with a little drone from time to time, but when I had a 14815 on my 633 I didn't mind it.

                Nice to have some HD sounds of that setup on youtube.

                  @MrGeekFreak, where did you order the parts from? I'm thinking of doing this same thing. I'm in the same boat; don't wanna spend a fortune but want something better looking/sounding than OEM.

                    Advanced Auto Parts. I used a "Friends and Family" coupon that was going around at the time, and if I remember correctly, was around 40% off.

                    Clips, if anyone is still interested, should coming up around the end of November. I'm planning on buying a Canon Rebel T2i sometime near there.

                      Why not Just use whatever you used before for the vid but rev it higher so everyone can hear it properly, the sound was fine and prolly won't be noticeably different with the rebel

                        Moar video! I just got a Magnaflow 14815 off a board member, so I just gotta pick up the resonator and get it all welded up. I hope the cat on my car isn't too rusty to keep; I didn't take a very long look at it when I picked up the car. EDIT: resonator ordered, found that coupon code and got it for $62 shipped :)

                                Or is it a cat?

                                That sound is what I'm looking for.
