I find myself driving too fast!!!
I just love hearing the thing. Again, very glad I went with the valved and resonated set-up. No question that without the resonators, there would be a drone under about 2500 rpms, especially under load. With resonators, it is still a touch loud in this area of the power band, but not in the least bit unpleasant. The valves, likewise, allow me to leave my nice residential neighborhood at 6:15am without waking everybody. There also those times when I just want quiet and the valves will give you that.
The car feels less restricted and definitely pulls harder in the lower rpms, although this isn't news to anybody at this point. Can't really tell a difference above 5000rpms, but the car was plenty fast in that range anyway.
Anyway, I had gone back and forth about what combination of stuff to get on this exhaust and in the end I went with the "complete" unit and I'm very glad I did. No other way to do it in my book.
