I take it back, it was just my lousy speakers at home. It sounds a lot better on my office speakers.

What about drone? What does it sond like inside the car at 70 mph??

My Rogue sounds awesome at idle and very aggressive with the gas on, but after 3 years, I just pulled it this morning because of the loud freeway drone.

I'm out of mod money until the holidays. This is making it to the top of my wish list, though.

70mph in 4th sounds a bit agressive while 70 in 5th sounds mellower.
Neither bothers me though. (I had a Magnaflow prior to this. )

$350.00?!?! That's freakin sweet.

I'm still on the fence though. How does this compare to Supersprint's system? More or less the same?

OEM
Claimed data:
Horsepower 115 Hp at 6000 rev/min
Torque 149 Nm at 4500 rev/min
Actual data:
Horsepower 120 Hp at 5900 rev/min
Torque 149 Nm at 4700 rev/min

Supersprint
- Rear exhaust 830404
Actual data:
Horsepower 125 Hp at 6080 rev/min
Torque 153 Nm at 4700 rev/m

No rush

No rush on the group buy. My finances are kind of tight right now. But I'm interested.



More sound clips?

Oops! Sorry but no. (You know how it is when you're on vacation.)
I'll try to get out and work on it, but can't promise on account of the heat and humidity.

I hope you don't think I work for Megan Racing. I'm just a schoolteacher who volunteered his MC for this project.
