Default Just got Exhaust - XR8

Hi all.

Just picked up my XR8 from the exhaust joint. They removed the two big mufflers at the front and put straight through pipe in.
So my exhaust is Headers, Cats, & then pipe from the cats till it gets to the little muffler at the back.

S**t its loud!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cop bait probably.... : Sounds tuff though

It'd sound great but I imagine it would drone like all hell at cruising speeds?

I wouldnt mind mine being a bit louder, but I love the note it has now, so Im not going to change it.

When I was last in Orange (around 12 months ago) it was the ricer capital of the universe! Has it changed?

I had 18" hot dogs put where the 2 mufflers were and it sounded just right imo......

Use a digital camera to record a video - then post it on youtube - and then create a hyperlink to it

It doesnt drone that much, it's not as loud or as bad as you would think having no mufflers up the front, but if you jump on the 'Go' pedal, holy s**t
