well, Ed never installed it, so it's new. the FG material will burn off some after a while and makes it louder.

sound clip soon.

I concur. The Kleemann sounded very humble and only a little louder/deeper than stock until after about 1 month. Then it just roared on WOT (like it should).

Its definately not new. E said it was used for like 12k miles when he got it...

You guys would laugh if ya heard it at idle right now... I think its quieter than the stock exhaust at idle. I haven't got a chance to actually *drive* the car since it was installed, so we'll see tonight when I get a chance to actually drive the thing. Loud was not what I was after, but silence isn't what I was after either.... was looking for a happy tone...

12k on it already?

might be the resonator doing it's job at deleting the sound then. Supersprint as I know and heard from Oggle's 320 which he sold was very deep and had a very nice tone.

First time I have come back to this thread.

We used, peanuts on the first half of the box, and the WSJ as packing in the other end.

It was too quite? Most of the wearing, really happened in the warehouse as I work in the Fish Industry.

Are you not happy?

Im gonna give it some time before I really say its too quiet or too loud. I got on it a bunch of times on the highway and on small streets on the way home tonight and its definately a nice sound, but it is pretty quiet still. I honestly think the resonator is doing a very good job at keeping it quiet and I did see some interest in just the resonator in the original FS thread. Its looks awesome all in one piece, itd be a shame to break it up :x

lol blake, I did look for peanuts before I brought it to get installed.

Frank, Only if there was a video to share...

One post shy of a thousand right here....
