Yeah, Ill make a video in the morning right after the install. Probably just like my Roc Euro intake videos (sounds amazing), it is tough to pick up the true sound on cell phone camera and will probably sound way better in person, but nonetheless I will post one up for you.

Yes, sorry gents. I will also try to get some videos up this weekend. Never posted one, am I able to simply attach like a picture or do I need to set up a Youtube account and link it ?

Default Just did mine

OK so I owe you a video and will post one up after my son's baseball game but here's my take. Wow!!!!! Sounds great, definitely has more of a deeper sound now and if you like the pops and crackle sound that the sport exhaust on the 2016's has (which is what I have) then you will love this mod cause it does that way more now! Anytime you let off the gas all it does is burble and pop like crazy now.

Ok I know I owe a fly by video but I couldn't get my wife to go on the street and record it with me yesterday, hahaha. I will post one up though. Here is a start up and rev (sounds a little weird cause we can only rev our cars to 3k while in park) and another quick video while driving.

Sounding nice! Obviously you like it, no regrets? Any cruising drone or side effects?

Yeah for $250 bucks its a no brainer IMO. There is no drone for sure and I do really like it. The only thing I'm unsure of right now is it seems that it gurgles and pops almost too much now. I do have the 2016 Sport exhaust so that may be different on other cars without that stock exhaust. I do drive in Dynamic 90% of the time as well. No regrets whatsoever. Sounds really good just wish it didn't gurgle so much now. But overall really happy.

Sounds fantastic. I think I'll be getting this done soon. Can you tell me exactly what you had your muffler shop do?

EDIT: Re-read initial post. Awesome. Now worries about the explanation.

I think djpeaksd and anyone else who has done it would agree it sounds way better than a video can capture. It is a little deeper, louder, and yes you do get more crackles/pops upon downshift or letting off the gas when in "S" trans mode. When I drive in D, I haven't noticed hardly any crackles or pops, but of course every car is slightly different as are driving styles. I still 100% love it after a week and a half.
