Default Just put in my new Strup Exhaust

It is not only beautiful, it also sounds beautiful. thanks yelo for the rec, blake for giving me a place to install it, fastscions for carrying the item and strup for making such a masterpiece.
no rasp, aggressive, loud but not annoyingly loud as 240s, not hating on them, i just dont want the whole block knowing when i come and go at night. 307 shipped. worth every doller, just waiting for my tanabe dfs to come in next week :D

I got mine for 315 shipped Using the Scikotics Sponsored link, its like 10 bucks off, and i didnt have any tax because im not in Cali lol, so probably the same for Dan, but cheaper because hes closer to cali than i am (im assuming fast scions is out of cali)

can't tell from the sound clips if just normal cruise is quiet inside (not stock quiet but close) or do you still hear the exhaust note when cruising at speeds 65 and 70mph?

I would like it to be quiet in cruise until you get on it.

It is a really nice sounding exhaust.

oh yea, when youre at cruising speeds with cruise control on, it becomes almost non existant, i hear the engine over the exhaust at 70-75 with cruise on. but if you put your foot down on it, it picks up. for the 3 weeks ive had mine on, ive absolutely loved it.

WOW that was a great sound. Thanks a lot SUB you just might have sold me on that one. I love the deep, brush sound. Its conservative to a point...and I love that.

I may have to go this route myself even after buying the performance muffler axle-back. My GF's driveway is steep with a deep little ditch at the bottom. I just dropped my xD on TRD's today(not much of a drop), and now I scrape the tip of the PM when I back out. I still expect the springs to settle a bit and I doubt the muffler will take a lifetime of such abuse. I like how the tip of the strup stays up close to the bumper cutout. Have any of you who bought the strup had any issues with the exhaust tip discoloring/melting the plastic on the bumper?
