I just finished installing my Flowmaster 'Hushpower' axleback this evening. It took a little over an hour laying on my back in the driveway!
I weighed the stock mufflers when I took them off and they weighed in at 21 pounds each. The 'Hushpower' mufflers weighed only 11 pounds each. This comes out to a 20 pound weight savings on the car!! :banana:
I cranked the car up and it is definitely louder that the stock axle back. It has a good deep tone. I took the car for a 10 minute drive with some starts, stops and some highway cruising.
There is no 'drone' at any RPM and the sound levels in the car at 60, 65 and 70 MPH (I have 3.73 gears) isn't loud at all. I was able to listen to the radio and didn't have to have it blasting to hear it.
I did a couple of pulls through the gears and it has a good deep sound to it! So far I'm very happy with the overall look and sound of my Lethal Performance 3" O/R X-pipe and Flowmaster 'Hushpower' axleback exhaust!!
I'm still planning on going to the exhaust shop and getting them to cut the resonators out and replace them with straight pipe.
I like the way the tips and mufflers look on the car from behind. The mufflers are much smaller and black so all you see from behind the car is the nice 4" rolled tips!!
I will also try to post up a video of how it sounds at idle, accelerating, driving down the road, etc.
