Or I'm just too old.

Either way, less than 100 miles on it and put the stock muffler back on. I'm going to list it in the for sale section. Oh, I can't. I don't have enough posts. Very disappointing. PM me.

Wow another one.

Are these things really that much louder then they seem on YouTube?

I listened to hundreds of videos on YouTube trying to decide on a exhaust. I had thought this is what I was going to go with, no I'm questioning that ?

They are loud, but nothing like a straight pipe.

Its tough because youtube just dont do the muffle any justice.

Im suprised that system is quieter. Its basically just resonators on there from the looks of the pic

Don't go off of the pictures from that site. I just posted that webpage because it's the cheapest I could find when I bought mine. Its a muffler replacement kit similar to the Carven. Here is their website - Heartthrob Exhaust and Accessories Might be worth your time looking into carrying their products?

Here is a write up I did last year. http://www.ramforum.com/f44/heartthrob_exhaust_-_no_drone-97651/

Now I wish I would have done more research and bought a Carven. Lol
I love my magnaflow but would love it to be little louder. Thinking about short tube headers some time in the future maybe?

This post will be deleted. Again, you obviously didn't read the for sale rules....and you didn't even put it in the right section. You have only 3 posts and you blew off the rest of the rules also.

Glad I'm not the only one! Sounds great but its super loud when you don't want it to be. Here is my install and sound clips. I already sold it after 1 week.

Boosted-what did you end up replacing it with? I would like to upgrade my exhaust but do not want any drone or loud cracking just rumble.
