I have it on my car and it sounds good from inside the cabin. But the important thing is, everyone that's heard my car has come up to me and said it is the best sounding, deepest toned 4 cylinder car they have ever heard in their lives.

There is NO cabin drone, at least with just a cat-back. I was concerned about it droning when we built the first prototype, but we were very happy to find that it was non-existent.

I've got the dual tip cat-back for a few weeks now. Not much louder then stock from outside the car but has a really deep growl too it. Same as Eric said, everybody that has heard it loves how deep and mean the growl sounds. Only thing I got to say about it, took my dad and 2 brothers to Kelowna the other day which is about 45mins away, and with the avg weight being 200lbs each it got f'ing loud in the car. We were going up a pretty big hill with all of us in it and in the front, the inside of my head felt like a pinball machine inside of it, can't imagine how loud the back seat was. If there is just yourself and a passenger it is great, but if you have a full car it drones really bad at highway speeds and gets super loud on acceleration. I still love it and 99% of the time it is just the wife and I or just me so its great.

BTW I have just the C-Back, rest of exhaust is stock

I'm surprised there haven't been any additional sound clips or videos of the exhaust since it was released. There was a ton of interest in it, so I naturally assumed someone would have posted some clips.

Im seriously considering buying it as well, I have a TurboXS cat-back on the car and it has given me nothing but problems. It sounds great and it has a nice growl the tips look amazing aswell, but the thing has a nasty drone, plus the fitment on the muffler to the midpipe flange put's out a horrible vibrating sound. Im not the only one with this problem i know a couple of other members on here had the same issue with the XS. Plus it hassent helped that their Customer service hasn't been that great with the issue. New sound clips would be great since im shipping the XS one back next week and i need a new exhaust asap

Ya man one of my biggest gripes with intake/exhaust is that terrible drone sound you get at certain RPM's. I had a Dodge RAM 1500 with and intake and full cat back and at certain times it was unbearable, family members had to actually cover their own ears!! I don't plan on getting that exhaust for at least 2 weeks as I need more funding , but like I said before I will most definitely get some vids for yall .

I can't stand drone either. I used to not mind a mean loud exhaust, but for passengers or travelling that gets old fast. How does the inside sound of the AMS sound compared to the borla.

I'm curious too. The only ones I would consider is AMS or Borla. UR was nice but it was way too loud. I'm gonna try to get the one that is quieter.
