Default Inexpensive Stock Exhaust Mod

Has anyone tried this inexpensive exhaust mod? http://www.xmsengineering.com/exhaust/


It appears to by-pass a portion of the muffler. For $100 it seems like a cheap alterntive to buying a completely different exhaust setup. How much different is the sound?

This is Andy's (A&A) original exhaust mod. Sound enhancement only, no performance claims made or achieved. Works as described.

What does it sound like? GHL's?

Is there any interior resonance?

The A&A exhaust mod is a great sounding low price solution for better sound. No resonance at all. Sounds good but not as loud (nor as good) as an after market system like Borlas or GHLs. I had it for two years until I did Borlas.

Looks similar to B+B PRT's flow pattern...
