Just a short vid that I said I would post when I got around to putting on my Carven Direct fit Muffler. Big shout out to Nick for the great deal. Sorry it is sort of short is was raining. I will get a better on in a day or two when the weather clears up. Cold start with a few small reeves. I also have some 5 inch tips that need to go on has well.

I appreciate it fellows. I'm liking it much better than the outlaw series flow master I had on it before and it is built a hell of a lot better than the flow master also. I have a set of 5 inch tips that I need to throw on that I hope will complement the sound a little more. Hopefully tomorrow or the next day I will be able to get a take off vid to post "that is when it really screams".

Hear is another short vid I grabbed when there was a little brake in the rain. My phone fell over about half way through the vid but the first part you can hear pretty good. I still didn't get on it like I wanted to because of the wet roads, but hopefully this will give y'all a better idea of what it sounds like.

Thats sounds awesome! Cats? Any cracking or popping sound with headers? Thinking really hard about doin this. But want a smooth sound like i have now with just the carven progressive, only meaner. Not overbearing. Also, is the ticking prominent like others have stated after doing longtubes?

American Racing Headers with High Flow cats. No popping or crackling but it is loud, it's hard to really capture on video just how loud this system is. I have the competitor series so the progressive series may tone down the loud a little more. It will sound meaner with headers but the overbearing part is in the eye of the beholder.

There is a little more engine noise with headers but its really not bad at all. I will grab you a vid tomorrow of the engine while running if you want me to so you can hear the difference but IMO it's minimal difference from stock.

Thanks CTD. Yeah, I know sound is very subjective. I think I'd be about perfect for my taste with the progressive and the arh longs. Prob listened to ur videos 20 times through my headphones today. Smiles everytime. Can only imagine what it soumds like in person.Mind taking an in cab video? Is it super loud crusing, or just when you get on it?

It is not to bad while cruising (SUBJECTIVE). Don't get me wrong you can hear it at low RPM's even with the windows up but I am able to carry on a conversation and it never has never bothered me in the lest. I still have my factory resonators on and that seems to help some while at cruising speeds. I will get a in cab vid tomorrow or Sunday and maybe that can help aid in your decision. I also have another vid doing some normal drive byes that I am uploading right now and will post in a few mins that you can listen to.
