This is GMG's vid of their v10 with 3 inch piping, mine is even louder:

Yours does have the higher pitch, ala F1, but I think Keith may have been using a crappy phone to record, which might be messing with the output and sound quality

Here's a couple of pics when it was delivered:

Keith, are they painting your car with a nail polish brush? What's taking so long? I am dying to see this monster painted.

Jim,
It takes forever to take evey thing apart. You should see the boxes and boxes of stuff from the doors, fenders, rear deck lid, etc.... that came off before painting. Windshield comes out, upper brake light comes out, all the little pieces must come off. Changing a color is a big deal after the fact.

This color has so much pearl/metalic/metal flake in it, it changes color depending on the light. just rolled out yesterday.

Something you didn't know about me...I used to be a painter in a custom shop in my early-mid 20's

I was just giving you a hard time, but they are dragging azz a little bit

It looks awesome so far, great color choice.
