First question… once I got the ignition issue sorted out one of my first matters to address was the relatively sedate exhaust. While the car didn’t have any rust issues the bolts attaching the cat and muffler were more or less mummified with rust and I ended up cutting them off and installing a Dansk pipe and Fabspeed muffler bypass. The car sounds amazing now but it is a little bit on the loud side for daily driving. Don’t get me wrong, it is incredible, but this thing is gonna get old in a few months and my neighbors might start complaining at some point. I more or less have to idle it out to keep from annoying folks.
So I’m looking at the Fabspeed Supercup as a viable compromise… anybody have thoughts on how that sounds compared with what is essentially a straight pipe? It’s hard to tell from YouTube videos and the like and I would rather not spend $1k for just a very minor reduction in sound.
It doesn’t seem like many folks run straight pipes outside the race track… are there any downsides I might not be recognizing? The shift in power band to higher RPM range was expected and noticeable once I got the new set up installed but it’s not something that bothers me.
