Found a good deal on Borla S-type GT axle backs. Combined with the Steeda x-pipe I already had, they are much louder. The x-pipe with stock mufflers was still pretty tame, but this combo is as much volume as I would ever want. The exhaust is much more noticeable in light acceleration, and then really comes to life at higher revs.
There is some drone in that familiar 1,900-2,000 rpm range, but only when accelerating lightly or putting a load on the engine going up a hill. Cruising on level surfaces, there is none at all.
Compared to YouTube sound videos of S-types with x-pipe, I think mine sounds slightly "ricier" but the cars in those sound clips had shorty headers. So the shorties do seem to sound a little better but it's not a huge difference.
It will be interesting to see the reaction of the GT owners I occasionally cruise with. Before they could never even hear me.
Need to clean those fingerprints off my decklid.
