The roads in NY suck and I am a prett agressive driver and I have yet to hit anything. My driveway is on a slope and I haven't hit that either!

well, here's a question for yah....how loud is it on the freeway....like cruising at 75-80 or so? i was just wondering about that....because the rpm is so high. anywho...just wondering, thanks

oh, and btw that looks gooood.

Its pretty loud getting up to speed, but once you level off (and I always cruise 75-80) it's not bad at all. You can still tell it's there, (depending on your radio) but it's not annoying.

TheDanger

agreed! It levels out unless you lay on the throttle and then you hear it roar!

how was the header install, did you do it or have it done?

I can host movies on my server if you need, you can email any movies up to 30mb to me @ chris@mhzweb.com i really want to see/hear a movie of this exhaust.

If you go to www.strup.us and click on products, then click on Scion exhaust, they have a video clip.
I must say it is not the same as hearing it in person though. It doesn't do it justice.

yeah i seen the strup video, but its pretty low quality, not only that revving the engine in neutral doesnt mean much to me, every car sounds totally different under load from the engine and shifting through the gears, thats what im more interested in.

i'll see if i can clip the movie on the roadway

I installed the headers and exhaust my self. The hardest part was getting the 14mm bolts loose that hold the header to the exhaust. Other then that the install was easy. If you don't know what you are doing then have a pro install it.

The tone on the hwy is very quiet. Its great, even when the radio is on low you can hardly hear the exhaust. From 1,000 to 3,500 it has a nice tone, not too lound but you can hear it ... Once you pass 3,500 its starts to quiet down ... even if you really pound the gas it has a low tone ... Nothing too loud but you can still hear it ...

Honestly that video comes nowhere close to as in person. Once i heard it on my own car it was great.

The video is just an idle rev ... Im gonna try to get with Jeff from Partshipper and we will try to get an audio from inside the car while driving ...

thanks guys...i'm still debating on getting an exhaust that's premade, because most are only axle back.....i guess i could always get the rest custom done. oh, and btw the 14mm bolts are kinda tough to get off. i put a DC header on my xA, and that was the hardest part for us. anywho, thanks for the feedback guys.

I was actually surprised at the significant improvement over having the header and exhaust then just the exhaust. substantial. NEED NUMBERS.

Here is a clip of the Blitz exh> http://rs-scooby.com/albums/album37/Untitled.wmv
would you guys say it sounds better or about the same as the Blitz.

Lip

i would say the strup sounds far better then that clip...far better

FrankenScion

That Blitz is too high-pitched when you rev it. Sounds kinda ricey to me.

does anybody hit the bottom of the exhaust while going up a driveway or anything?

i will be getting my exhaust pretty soon and i am wondering if i am going to be hitting my exhaust alot while going up my driveway =[

FrankenScion

I haven't, and I haven't changed my driving habits.

scott-
