Default STS video w/ exhaust comparisons

A while back I did a comparison video of my stock '02 Z06 and then with LGM LT Pro headers and X-pipe w/cats so I could compare the difference in sound.

Well now I added another video with the STS twin turbos installed, simply replacing the stock Ti Z06 mufflers.

Someone had asked about the sound of the STS turbos on a car, so this gives a pretty good comparison of what to expect.

Well, I have to admit that although the setup seemed VERY loud when I had it installed, it is growing on me. It is not offensive to the wife at all, so that was a major hurdle I was worried about. And the times I have passed cops on the road, none of them even batted an eye.

I would like it to be quieter on the inside of the vehicle, but I doubt it would be worth the time, effort, and expense to do that, all things considered.

Besides, nearly everyone seems to think it sounds AWESOME, as is.

The exhaust note sounds much better after the headers. I don't know if it's the recording but it also sounds quieter.
