Where's my damned bolt up dual kit? This is an outrage.

I am really considering this now. I think I want to go the cat-back dual route though. But that does sound nice. WOnder how much a cat-back would set me back?

sounds really nice. I got same question as etlsport how is the volume?

You will see many people turn their heads when you start it up in a parking lot. It sounds like you are starting up some big V8 and they have to look to see what it is. shawn.

I'm not going to lie: cabin noise levels are definitely higher. I knew that going in, of course. The VX sounds much meaner now...and after living with it for a couple of days, it DOES seem to have more HP. It gets up to speed sooner, and seems to 'coast' farther when I let up off the gas.
I'm going to have to try some sound-deadening material in the rear cabin. I wanted to do it anyway, but now I've got some real incentive! I'll try removing the rear seat and then really maxing out some RaamMat under the carpet and behind the side panels.
No regrets. I like the new sound.

I had the VX lined up at a local tuner shop in 2 weeks for some "overhaulin" work done, and considered going dual since it was gonna be there for a while.... but I cancelled my appt. My priorities took a wild turn yesterday and I spent the money on some "other" stuff, heh. Guess I have to go back to the old saving up status again.
But that's ok.... I got a great deal on a Chen - Edo era katana and wakizashi. No complaints from me.
