Or just spend $100 on a sawzall, $20 on blades, $80 on pipe, $100 on exhaust tips, and $40 to have someone weld the pipe and tips on and have a better sounding exhaust for under $400 with another tool added to your garage. ---

I have to agree with MDP, and that video would seal the deal if it were mine. ---

thanks guys 🙂 One thing I def learned is the whole exhaust video thing can be really misleading…the Eisenmann race with x-pipe sounded AMAZING in videos but was waaaaaayyyyyy too loud for me when I saw a guy in CT with one…and I wanted relatively loud! It sounded incredible but from the outside it looked like it would kill you from the drone. Not to mention I see them for sale all the time from people who were mislead the same way. Hearing it in real life gives you a better judgement of the volume and that’s a whole different story… I bet removing the mufflers is loud but sounds good, however you won’t get 30whp doing that 😃
