Default Neuspeed Exhaust

Ok I got my Neuspeed exhaust on and it has definitely made my car quicker. When the turbo spools up, it throws you back in the seat HARD. OK, now here is the question. The exhaust sounds good, but when I give it full throttle, it makes this sound like a sandblaster. It doesn't sound like the intake. A much harder sounding sound. Does anyone know if this will get better with time, or should I check the exhaust again. The best way I can describe the sound is Kkkaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.....

Anyone have any thoughts?

Default That's the Borla properties apparently, I am getting the same exhaust fitted this morning

Neuspeed/Borla one 2.5" version.
Apparently after a few thousand miles the sound softens, due to the gradual buildup of residue in the box.

Man I hope it's not too load, I don't want to attract attention.

Default Ick, I was considering that exhaust (Neuspeed) to replace my Remus...

but if it's gonna make all that noise, I might skip it and keep the Remus. I talked to someone at Neuspeed and he said the exhaust is one of the quietest ones around. I need to test listen to one soon but I don't know anyone close to me who has one.

Default it is simply the sound of the exhaust gases RUSHING thru the muffler.....

why it does'nt have the "sweet" tone like when NOT WOT, probably due to loudness issues.

20,000 miles on my Borla, no regrets.

Audi On!

Yeah that's what I was thinking, wanted to make sure it wasn't a leak or something bad.

It's not too loud. Definitely a good performance gain.
