Default Sound bite Akrapovic, Headers and Xpipe

Had the Car in at Redline Motorsports to get some stuff installed and a tune. I got a couple of sound bites of the new setup:

Akrapovic - Great product just be careful who you buy it from.
Kooks Headers
3" Kooks Xpipe no CATS
No AFM and tune by Redline Motorsports

Two videos, one is start up. The other is 3/4 throttle straight run. I also have a street clip just going about town that I'll upload once done.

Over all it's pretty loud inside the cab, may be a tad bit too loud... outside it sounds crazy.

Enjoy









Thanks!

I thought it might just be my eyes, but yes they do appear to be out of whack just a bit. Sounds sweet as hell. As soon as I can convince the wife the Akra's are a good investment...

Tip alignment is definitely wonky, I'd have expected perfection at their price bracket. Sounds great though.

Each tip is individually adjustable. It is somewhat annoying to do actually.
