Default 2" Cat-back Exhaust

So, I got a 2" cat-back exhaust installed yesterday. : Got it done at Castle Hill Exhaust. I gotta say the guys did an excellent job.

I wanted the exhaust to be on the quiet side. It'd be too quiet for most people but it sounds really nice to me. Not a real head-turner but still louder and better than stock. I chosed not to have tips as I want it to look stock.

It's pretty much unnoticable 2000rpm and below. It comes alive 2250rpm up, but once it's 3000rpm+.... the engine and the exhaust notes, IMO, blend well together. The guy at the exhaust shop said for me to give it a week for it to carb up. It'll sound slightly deeper and louder then.

Performance gain?... it doesnt add much power but i notice that it's much easier and quicker to get up to..say... 3000rpm than before. Throttle response is slightly improved and smoother. The car feels lighter and more edgy. :eclipsee_

Overally im pretty happy with it so far, I wanna hear how it is after it has worn-in a bit. Thanks Castle Hill Exhaust and everyone that has given me advices about cat-back exhaust.

Cheers,

Ivan
