I like the way they did your exhaust! Even cleaner than Rolllln's! Why are you going to paint it black instead of getting a CF diffuser?

The left side tip wasn't welded yet lol we were adjusting when I took the pic. They did it for 150. It was a bit pricer than my usual guy but he was packed today so he couldn't get to me. I used this guy in the past too. I have the M272 (V6) engine.

Only 150 dollars for the piping holy crap.. thats cheap! did that cover everything including welding on the tips? you removed your res correct?

Checked the other page.. It sucks when ppl do test in there garage. it echos and makes it sound different then it really should. Please could you test it in an open area. Im really thinking about changing my whole exhaust set up. Dual or quad just looks sick

I might have to come out to FW with a proper mic do we can really hear your exhaust! Camera mics never do it justice.

Wonder how it would sound with / deleted second cats / Y pipe / Borla / to tips
Or delete second cats to a 2 inlet borla to tips

I want a deep mean sound. Don't know if you saw my thread yesterday

Here is a C300

C350
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5esK...EF8DBBC2A3F9B5

I wanna know if its something inside the muffler making that noise or if its the w204 motor helpin it.

I really dig that sound on the C350 doesn't sound like the c63 at all but it sounds mean or good lol

C280

I have me secondary resonator deleted. My muffler sits where it use to be. Why dont you go for dual inlet and dual outlet and run a X pipe.

FAVORITE PIC SO FAR... I'll take more when I get a chance on my week off.

Really! What mic did you get? All of my mics are for studio environments, and pick up to much background noise to be used recording this type of thing. I haven't done much research into what type of mic would work best when teamed with my T2i

I got the Azden SMX-10, good bang for the buck mic. But if you want a really good one I'd recommend Rode or Senn. The Senn mke 400 has really good reviews and is about 200 for it.

I'm considering the Rode VideoMic mostly because I really like the integrated isolation mount, but I've had really good luck with Sennheiser's MKE series when recording my drums. Sad fact is that whatever I buy will just be the first step in the process.
