Nah still too much drone and to loud IMO. As i said its your car and if you like it isnt that the aim, not to please others. Im not a fan but some maybe though, each to their own.

Well i for one dont think it sounds that bad. I used to have an exhaust system like that on my old forte and loved it. It cant compete with sound i get out of 5.0L but it was fun all the same. As long as you enjoy it mate and dont mind a bit of droning.

Mine sounds a bit like that, but with more crackle.
Inside the car its not too bad, not very loud, but outside its stupid! I will be getting another muffler shortly! Idle - 2500 = fart in a can 2500 - 4000 = popcorn crackle 4000 - redline = only time it sounds tough So its kinda poo as I spend 90% of my time under 4000rpm..

love the dronning as long as you drive nice with it, not plant the foot down in the city etc it will be fine, i am thinking of putting in at least a resonator in, would the car go quieter or just a little bit, as i dont really wanna losse that sound, just a little bit less of it lol

since i have had the exhuast on, i have had no cop problem at all, i have 3 cops which live down my street and they havent said one word to me,
speacilly in suburbia, no problems at all, i got past cops all the time, and they havent got a problem with me, cops in queensland must like our exhuast up here lolol, but the gold coast is the bad spot for modded cars every weekend down there they are pulling people over now they are testing the exhuast emssions comming out, if its bad, they pull you over untill you have fixed it, cheers, lucky i live in the country

ok, so let me get this straight... first you had an accident where your hi flow cat got smashed and hollowed out.... then you got it tested and it was fine... then a chunk fell out of it but it's not hollow.... and then it became a standard cat..?
DUDE, are you mentally challenged? don't move to melbourne. we don't have the tolerance for that kinda stuff. and i can guarantee someone would rip your exhaust off your car if you did move down here. there's enough nasty sounding cars out there, we don't need a nasty sounding AU added to the list.

we've had half a dozen different mod's come in and make comment on the content but seriously. OP, you really need to just chill, get your facts straight and LEARN TO USE THE EDIT BUTTON. reading 10 replies in a row from you only minutes apart is ridiculous and just fuels more stupid discussion about all the inconclusive crap about your bent/broken/hollowed out/legal/standard/blocked/unblocked/still good/highflow cat. So moral of the story, if you like the sound, leave it, if you dont, then change it. you wanted everyone's opinion and they gave it, so dont get angry if they dont like it. and i (and everyone else) strongly advises that you fix your bent/broken/hollowed out/legal/standard/blocked/unblocked/still good/highflow cat.
