It isnt to loud, its nice, but there is def a throaty sound compared to the stock one. Really the sounds are about the same as stock because you get a lot of noise from the engine and now you get less engine noise and some exhaust note

Okay thanks. And from what I've gathered, the intake makes it sound even better, right? Or does that just give you extra hp?

Ill let you know when mine comes this week

honestly I dont like the videos that are being posted (including my own) because I am afraid people are going to buy them, or not buy them, solely based on the videos. I think the intake will be good but if you tromp on it will make a lot of engine noise. Where as the exhaust just has a deep noise.

Also I love when I downshift into a corner and you get the popping noise (don't know how to explain it) it reminds me of rally cars and I picture flames coming out the back when it happens, I wish there was. Guess I do need a turbo

haha

Okay, cool. And yeah, sadly, the videos do kind of sway me, but hearing everyones testimonies about how great it sounds, it doesn't affect me that much. I still want to hear the Greddy exhaust when it comes out though, because from the other video I saw, it sounded great. But, depending on prices, I may end up getting this one.

We have no before-after dyno results, no. Only two Lancer owners have posted dyno results, and they use different dynos, so it's not even comparable. Just gotta wait this one out. Although I personally doubt anyone will pay for before-after dyno runs for just an axleback exhaust...

I could be 10 hp, 10 sounds like a lot but you have to remember that 10hp/152hp is only like 6.5% so my good old butt dyno might tell the truth.

afterall I know that it is quicker with the exhaust and intake (i noticed a bigger increase with the exhaust) just not sure how much

Easiest fix is to just take it to a shop and have the hangers custom bent so that the exhaust is sitting exactly where you like it.

I don't know. I also don't know if it IS a problem for every customer.

[EDIT] Browsing through the pictures in this thread, I don't really see anything that looks too bad to me, honestly.
