Here is a sound clip of my Kelford 272's - just installed them so it needs a tune, i think it sounds pretty good so far.

On the contrary I've had multiple people tell me how sick my car sounds (helix 272's). People said it sounded "like a race car" or "sounds like a domestic". Never had any negative comments except maybe some geezer who thought it was too lound lol

Yeah I get mixed questions about my kelford 272's

I was @ the movies with my gf the other day and a women had to be late 60's early 70's and my car was idling. She said what's that? I said huh? She said that sound, I said my exhaust? She said yes, it sounds beautiful. Such a beautiful car. Lol I was like wow

Also I ran into a car enthusiest that said the "****tier" a evo sounds, the further he stays away from racing it lol

The correct response is that it's part of the toyota recall and you're just waiting for them to call you.
