Sounds decent. Beefy, but give it more gas! Let's really hear it rip!

That was 4500 RPM, I might need to get a driving video. At this point I think it sounds like crap and I take it from the other views most other people do to. Shame they didn't post saying so.

It sounds a little rice but not too bad. It kinda looks a little rice too. Can't you tuck the muffler/resonator or whatever that is back a little so it's not peeking out from under the bumper?

But yeah, post a video of it under load, you can't tell what an exhaust sounds like with the car in neutral.
