Euro?? Sounds like a friggen 69 Mach 1 to me

Several of my friends have said that when you crank it up and rev it, my car now sounds like all those muscle cars they restore on Overhaulin'

I'm starting to get used to these almost to a point where they aren't loud enough

but i still get people turning back to hear what thunderous v8 is coming, and their eyes widen even more when they see its an 05.

I love this exhaust

Is it wrong to want to go outside and start it up just to hear it?!?!

I'm more than sure that they use magnaflow on almost all of those cars, so I'm not real sure if you would want people saying they sound the same. haha

Those cars sound good no matter what you put on them. No replacement for displacement. And magnaflow sound very good, but Borla.....its just great.

Yep...All of the Overhaulin cars have Magnaflow on them....

The 05 Saleen also uses Magnaflow now as well-

Chip Fooze and Boyd have been using Magnaflow exclusively for quite some time now-

Of course Imight just be a little biased (lol)- but I still love Magnapacks on the 05

NIce cars though and nice videos

Psssst its Foose...
hehe, may want to spell your clients name right

To me those no replacing the sound of a v8, regardless of exhaust.
They just accentuate it.
Glad theres so many great exhaust companies out there with so many choices...makes it great going to meets, hearing the symphony

Can't say...never been in the car with a stock exhaust...
It was pulled off before I picked the car up.

There is a drone though...1800-2200 and the higher the gear, the worse it gets.
Its definately liveable though...especially AFTER you hear what a difference the exhaust makes.

Ask Dan, he knows...he had stock for a while, then recently went over to the dark side

Quite a bit louder when you get on it, but that is obvious. Really, they aren't that loud especially with the windows up. Now that I'm used to the volume level, I really don't think the drone is a big deal AT ALL. I think too much was made of that. Its more of a hum..... Of course, you can make any car drone if you're in too high a gear at the wrong rpm. The stock exhaust did a great job with interior noise. You couldn't even hear the car when on the highway.

If you like the sound of the cars in the videos, BUY THEM. You won't regret it, I PROMISE YOU. I'm having so much more fun with this car now. It sounds the way a muscle car should!

I'll chime in as well,

Stock sounds great, but these borlas sound amazing, I was the waterboy at this little drive (holding the camera) but I feel the borlas sounds amazing on this car, and I will set aside the $$ to throw them on mine as well.

They are pricey, but they sound amazing IMO

Wait until you have a chance to get behind a cop and shift at 4K rpms or higher without exceeding the speed limit. It seems I've had the opportunity a couple of times. 0:-) One of them was glued to the rear view mirror and almost rear ended a Nissan pickup.

He appeared to be upset.
It took a lot of will power for me to keep a straight face.

the 95 i used to drive had thrush when i got her so i was weaned on glasspacks. I never considered interior noise from these to be overwhelming but then I never knew any different. I wanted to put a borla system on but killed her before I had the chance. wont make the same mistake this time. thanks both of you for the insight and the vids.
