We have a newer baffle that will bring it about 10% quieter then our original touring version.

I love the sound. Price is a lil' high, since an HKS cat back for any other car is less. I would buy if price was $350-$400. Please keep us posted.

edit: exhaust is sold

Gegundez (or anyone else), I'm selling my Breathless exhaust if you are interested, and it is in your price range. I want to get the quieter touring version once I sell my sport version. I'm very happy with the fit and quality of Ernie's product and I love the center exhaust look. Here is a link with the details:

Ernie:

The thought occurred to me while reading this... is it feasible to get a good recording of the sound? I'm sure the enthusiasts would love to hear the difference, but I'm sure it would require a very good recording to do it justice. I've heard some minicam videos from YouTube, and the sound there has no bandwidth. Since you're in the business, would it be worthwhile to get a good, solid recording of the mods you make?

It is all relative. how good are your speakers? how loud is the volume? how well was it recorded?

I notice that mine is much louder when I go through a tunnel in the City than when I am out in the middle of the desert in Nevada!!

it is a nice soft tone, not at all like the loud import performance street cars.

To all those who have produced, purchased and posted about this exhaust - a HUGE personal thanks!

I went through this with my last ride, being the buyer of a new exhaust as soon as one was available. Although I gained performance and a truly wicked exterior sound, the interior sound got old.

I love the center exit along with the Billet piece. I am psyched that steps all already being made for those who ultimately prefer something even more quiet. Thanks Breathless!
