On the fence about downpipes ? Listen !

I’m blown away. Just picked car up. sounds like a freaking race car. I had a real issue hearing the revs for shift points on track with helmet. I think that problem has been solved lol. Less heat , less weight , more power. Win all around 😎.

Turn up the volume. in person it’s much more impressive. flip the switch and sounds like stock. perfect !

Have you measured how many decibels your set up is?
I would like to go louder but most tracks including mine set limits to 92-95 dB.

Hearing it though headphones it sounds the same as my Stock GTR. Like you said gotta be in person.

my stock cls blows 95 db. At Laguna they have sound booth between two turns. In previous loud cars i simply put in quiet mode. Exit turn in 5th vs 3rd. keep RPMs below 4k and you are good. I lose exactly one second which doesn’t bother me. if it was whole track or multiple spots that would be different. I do 90 db days no problem. momentum car for one small section.
