Depending upon which rear section you have. It's a lot crisper sounding. I like the sound a lot better. No diff in resonance.

I have the prt's. Are they alot louder? What about high flow cats, does the pop on decel increase? I'm hooked on this and must find a way to increase it. My car will be in for heads/cam in about 1 month need to find out some info by then. I also have the TPIS long tubes if that matters. Alot of people said they would make the car louder but they didnt at all for me.
