    Talking Sound clips

    Okay, here is my first attempt at uploading video and audio clips to this website. Please bear with me! I hope it works...

    A couple of notes:

    1) Stock muffler: self-explanatory. This is what a rusty old muffler sounds like on a 1999 Vehicross.

    2) Flowmaster muffler: This is the Off-Road Extreme model from Flowmaster. Ignore the turbine sound at the start...I didn't realize that a jet was flying overhead. Also, listen carefully at 19 seconds and again at just before 30 seconds, and you'll hear the obnoxious rattle. It only happens at one resonance frequency. I must track that down...

    Thumbs up PS: Check out the tailpipe!

    Also, look carefully at the videos and you'll see the difference between the tiny, rusty, downward-pointed stock tailpipe VS the new, improved, beefier, horizontally-mounted carbon-fiber exhaust tip.

    Sah-WEEEET.

    I love your video sounds.... that's just what I'm looking for! Would keeping the stock tip be the same if I don't care about looks? You don't say much about your tip except that it's carbon fiber.... where did you find it? Link? You definitely love it after a month? I think I wanna go for it! I can't take that 'car' sound my VX makes any more, especially after test driving an FJCruiser. It's scary ugly but is fast and sounds cool.
