I have this exhaust for my tc and omg I love it. It has a nice grumble to it but its not ricey to me. When I got it I thought i was an angle out and I was mad because I personally hate the angle out exhausts. I put it on and wow. It sits perfectly center of where the exhaust goes out of the bumper. I had some fitment issues on the stock spipe so I had to drill it out a bit but once I got the Invidia spipe it all fit perfect. I dont know of the decibels but it really sounds great... I've had it for like 6 months and I still roll my window down to hear it when I go into a tunnel or freeway underpass . I can say that after I did the spipe and exhaust My butt dyno did tell me it had some horses added on now. I think I paid around 650 for the spipe and exhaust but I think its way better than getting just a axleback. I'd say if your going to get an exhaust and you don't want one thats angled out get this one. I'd buy it again if I had to. Ill try and post some pics when I get my camera back.

Yea I loved it as well, doesnt sound very nice with a header though but thats expected. I put on an extra resonator, its better but I am going to replace the one it came with as well.

Lmao it sounds so much better in person. And yeah that driver wasn't the greatest but it didnt seem like he was trying to shift that quickly in the first place. I cant wait to turbo my car to see what the exhaust will sound like...

No unless your car couldnt pass smog but chaning the catback wouldnt usually do that unless your car is running like ___... And nothing is illegal unless they catch you . But in all seriousness I got a ticket once for "modified exhaust to make noise" Yeah thats crappy... eat a dick.

Well the cop was lenient because I had my system up (2 12" l7's), My underbody lights on, A dvd player where the driver can see it, 60 in a 45, and the modified exhaust. He only wrote me a 189$ fix it ticket... I just paid it.
