Default Agency Power/Vivid Racing Exhaust

Just got my car back from them wanting to test fit an exhaust for the 2011. This is their first fit they may/may not be making adjustments from what i say/think, will try to get a vid of me driving later to post. cat back exhaust kit. First thoughts is its pretty loud, not used to it at all. Low RPM's sound mean as hell but as i get higher rpm's starts to sound a little bit raspy, then starts sounding like a inline 4 typically sounds to me.

all i got right now is a vid of me starting it letting it idle then turning the car off as it was 930pm and i didnt want any of the ppl living next to my car getting mad lol. i apologize for the beeping as well as its someone else's car alarm, i dunno what it was doing. crappy vid qual but you hear the sound thats what matters

hm. the tip doesn't look as refined but maybe it's because it's a prototype version. also, I don't see why they did the bends like the stock exhaust as opposed to straightening it out like descendants if it's a cat-back. probably not as efficient as the descendant's

Hey guys, don't worry, we took a bunch of really cool video of this exhaust and will be posting it soon. We also got nice photos coming as well. It is being edited as we speak. Hold tight!

Thanks Raar for allowing us to test on your tC!!

Sweet. Can't wait to see what it looks/sounds like a bit better!
I keep resisting the urge to purchase descendant's because all the other ones keep popping up!

Same, I figure all the big names and some small names are gonna be releasing theirs before the summer's over, so it won't hurt to wait a couple months to get the one I like most.

While I am excited to see a new exhaust available... why follow the fatory piping? Why not skip the whole u-turn thing?

I agree,seems to be an obstruction that could be avoided.

Looks great to me. Just a little noisy for my taste. Ideally, we'd be able to get something a little deeper, and more similar to an SRT4 sound, but seeing as the 2.4 is turbo'd and stroked (IIRC?), that would be a bit difficult. I think you'll move these easily though. This sound is pretty popular for whatever reason. Best of luck guys!

BTW, idle sounds INCREDIBLE in the first video in my opinion.

Is this actually in production already? I like the look but, like the others said, curious about keeping the factory u in the exhaust

Off topic, who's car is that in the video? I want to know what they used to get that amazing mirror reflection in the paint, there is more on that than just the clearcoat!
