Post your favorite exhaust clips!

Seeing as I'm stuck out in the mountains the only option I have for a few months is YouTube. Not only that, but only for a limited period of time (about 30 mins).

That said, who feels like post their favorite exhaust vid? Under 3 mins would be appreciated due to slow connection, 1-2 mins ideal.

I got to hear a couple quick ones last night. The one Milltek I heard had some annoying sounds accompanying it but might've been the intake or something. I'm curious to see one or two different ones to be sure. The Borla seemed almost shrill. The Magnaflow one I saw seemed ok but not largely different than the stock they compared it to. I think there were two with Altas and I think those sounded good, but one inside the cabin seemed to have a bit of a drone (although might've been lousy camera placement and the guy was granny driving-could still be an issue then at highway speed).

I'd like to hear more when I get some time so curious what everyone has as their go-to bookmarks. Show off your favorite exhaust sound.

Edit: Or not. Can be deleted.

I have a couple clips of my fJCW exhaust at different iterations.

This is after the one ball mod. I think it sounded great like this, but I wanted to add a DP.


This is my current setup after a Akrapovic DP and a Magnaflow resonator.


Not sure which I like better

Cheers

I like the sound of the second video. I'm running the Mquebed DP w/CNT exhaust. All I need to do is find a good deal on the rear section of the JCW exh. Swap it out and should be pretty much like the second vid above...

Man, that is ****!

That combo fits the fJCW. How much was the Magna Flow res? $150ish?

Yeah, something like that... maybe even closer to $100. It was just whatever the exhaust shop had... nothing special.

After adding the Akra DP it sounded AMAZING!!! 100% RACECAR but it was just too much with the DP and no resonator.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to get a good exhaust clip from the rear while it was like this.

This is a quick run up Sunset Blvd before adding the Magnaflow resonator.



And if we talking about posting our favorite exhaust clips... I've been drooling over the Garbino exhaust lately... soooo pricey though.

Sounds awesome!

Did you trash your original resonator hence the aftermarket? Just curious.

No, I still have it. I originally did the "one ball" mod, resonator delete. I saved it for some reason... incase I ever wanted to put it back to stock I guess...

When I wanted to put a resonator back in I took it to the exhaust shop and they sold me on the Magnaflow to retain a little bit of the added sound from the one ball.

The OEM resonator is just collecting dust in the garage now... I really need to clean out the garage one of these days.

Thank you sir

Yeah sometimes when driving past law enforcement, I turn the sport button off to tone down the pops a bit...

Here is a video I put together using a GoPro mounted on the passenger headrest with an external mic mounted right above the exhaust. My JCW's got a bunch of NM stuff under the hood, but the exhaust is stock JCW. Also, the whole vid done in standard mode, not sport mode.

Here's a better clip compiling a few pulls. Better weather, my skeleton case, and it being night allowed for clearer audio. I feel this clip does Mariokart's "MQuebed DP" a lot better justice

Great clips...The JCW flows nice!
Gotta tell ya though, the shift ***** not going anywhere and probably more comfortable holding the steering wheel... It's the father and the drivers enthusiasts in me (no offense).
