    Tell Steve to put this in the MA Library.

    Always a great job Richard. By chance did you weigh the two systems?

    Thanks!! That's a really great question. I thought about it after I got the exhaust installed and was admiring it. :D But I can tell you that both the OEM and the Magnaflow exhausts are pretty darn heavy for one person or I'm just weak, lol.

    Haha. :Thumbsup:

    Put on some headphones or on high quality speakers, the difference is substantial. On my MacBook Pro, the sound differences are subtle, but I pipe my audio into an Airport Express here in the shop hooked to a stereo system and the deep rumble sounds amazing, lol.

    I stood the same distance behind the exhaust for each clip and was recorded using the Voice Memo function on my iPhone 3GS.

    Enjoy!
