Sorry I was trying to put one up last week and it was giving me a hard time saying the file was to large on a 10 sec video. I will try again later today.
I was not able to upload a video, either. I ended up uploading it to YouTube and posting the link here.

See if this works, It sounds way better in person but if you wear headphones if give a pretty accurate sound.

That sounds loud and aggressive but in a good way. What would you want to try if you started over?
Probably SpeedDaddy Shorties, Lethal Performance off road downpiped with high flows, and probably a 3 inch catback from a GT Corsa or borla.

An update on the Pypes Street Pro Touring. My initial impressions were based on having fun with a heavy foot. :) After 2 weeks of daily commuting I can definitely confirm there is drone. It is most noticeable when accelerating lightly between 1,700 and 2,300 rpm. I have an automatic transmission so I notice it most when "babying" the car for the best gas mileage when pulling away from traffic lights. Fortunately, it's really not very loud. The sound is just not as nice as the low rumble I get accelerating below 1,700 rpm and the higher quality noises at higher RPMs with more throttle.

As for cruising at constant speed, the drone is present in a narrower range, from 1,800 to 2,000 rpm. If I cruise at 80 mph it's gone. The volume seems to be getting lower as I drive more. So, there is drone but it seems to be less severe than some of the exhausts that drove people crazy.

Can't watch the video yet, but for the drone comment above. I think it gets to you more over time. Initial noise settles down as the carbon builds up on the pipes, but the drone sound will persist and might start getting on your nerves. With such a narrow range, it should be easy enough to avoid though.

The thing that gets to me is knowing there are some options out there with zero drone. That's what I want. But I've seen posts about totally drowning out the radio or conversations, and vibrating the interior, etc. If I was experiencing that I'd go right back to stock. I'll probably try something else sometime, but I'm perfectly willing to keep what I have for now.

Yea it sounds nice you hear the Procharger while it idles and complements to the aftermarket Tial Bov I replaced the Prochargers shit one that made literally no noise. I also had MPT cook me up a new tune that back fires a bit more when driving.

To be honest mine is loud when you get on it sounds like and angry demon. But I literally have no sound at all cruising 60-80 mph unless I mash the gas pedal.

That's great. Those resonators must be very effective. Were they installed in any special way for your setup? I saw where some guys made calculations for the size and placement of custom resonators to counteract certain frequencies.

Here is a picture. They placed them right after the x pipe because that is where they fit. Also side not they are not the prettiest weld job or placement but its under the car and serves it purpose.

Interesting. Seems like the way to go when using an x-pipe and getting rid of the stock resonator.

Yes because you maintain the sound and performance gain from the X but quiet it with the resonators just enough.
