a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Ok, made a short video clip this morning from outside the car. Cold start, with some revs after the catalyst converter warmed up.

Very nice!
I'm sure it gets loud under WOT.

Here is a clip of inside the car, cruising on the road.
I think the sound quality on my camcorder is horrible (you can't really hear anything), but I can assure you, there is no drone inside the cabin.

I'm always in 'M'anual mode as I love to always be in control of the motor's rotation.
I guess that's why I always have to add a quart of oil.
My car already needed to be topped off twice. The car was asking for 1 quart each time.

Wow, how many miles have you got on your car so far? Btw, now that the muffler (with the resonator removed) has settled in, it's a little bit louder than when I had the resonator removed. Overall, I would say it's about 20% louder than stock set up.
Am I the only one that drives normal cruising at 3,000rpm? LOL!

Any power loss feel tq wise? I just got my car today with the PP and the car sounds pretty good stock. In fact, it sounds louder than my 6.3 AMG.

Also, I've been told a new motor will usually use up more oil but this gradually decreases as the motor ages.
