Hi all,
So had my first mod fitted last week, a Kooks Axle Back Exhaust. Much like everyone else, I listened to a ton of videos online before choosing, but really loved the deep classic muscle car rumble of this system.
Now it's on all I can say is wow, it really does have a deep rumble when pottering about, but sounds like an animal once you floor it. In terms of tone, it's exactly what I was after.
However, one things which has taken me by surprise is quite how loud it is, especially at start up. On the American Muscle website it was listed as a 3/5 for loudness, so I thought it would be loud but sensible, but it doesn't sound far off a straight through system.
Maybe I've just been a but naiive, the mufflers are much smaller compared to the stock ones, so perhaps I should have realised. I've not got a lot of experience of modding!
However I am wondering if it will calm down at all once it's had the chance to bed in. The whole car only has 500 miles on the clock, so the resonator hasn't got many miles on it yet either. The car is my daily driver, so if I'm driving sedately I want a nice burble but nothing OTT.
Anyway, that's enough rambling, over to you guys!
