Yeah you will get used to it. I thought mine were a bit loud for the first hour or so ride, but now I dont even notice them being loud...they sound truly badass!

I did mine with Corsa X-pipe and have no resonation

If you are going to get a partition though, it would definitely be worth it to make it yourself. Would be a fun easy project.

Default You want loud? I got loud!

I'm running Bassani 1 7/8 long tube headers, 3" cats, Bassani 3"
x-pipe, and 3" Bassani exhaust out the back with 4" tips.
Even with my partition in I can't hear the Procharger, but
it makes over 552 rwhp and sounds great. Just loud!!!

Maybe you are losing some of your hearing. Not preaching, just something to think about.

lol i doubt it im not an old guy (25), but maybe i just dont care as much as some of the older guys. Honestly it is music to my ears, and roll up the windows and i can have a cell phone conversation just fine.

For D.I.R.E. C-5:

D.I.R.E. C-5 said something about making that partition. I would like to make one to separate my truck area. What is the material you used? I checked home depot and the only thing they have that comes close to this is the 2" styrofoam sheets....is this what you are referring to?

You missed the point but that's okay - like I said, I wasn't trying to preach so I won't say anything else.

I installed a partition on my car after and it was 100% better. I almost sold them before getting the partition. After the partition I only could hear the Bullets from "outside" the car. It was awesome ! I loved them after the partition ! Many compliments from people too !

I had to sell them after my heads/cam upgrade... the partition could not handel all the resonance. Love the exhaust but it had to go... vibrating plastic parts all over the car...

Installed the partition....wow thank goodness! It helps a lot!

A question on the partition though. Is it supposed to be flush with the bottom of the glass or should there be a small gap?
