Yes it is loud!!! But it sounds awesome!! The muffler shop had to fabricate a pipe to extend the muffler out cause it was shorter than the frankencar. Comments...Fire away!

You were looking for a more straight through design, right? Does it sound loud good or loud bad? I had a single tip Magnflow like that on my car and I got tired of it real fast. To me it just didn't look like it fit with the rest of the car.

Sounds clips tomorrow...as for the tip, I like it and that is all that matters, but thanks for the comment. I know a lot of people aren't going to like it but I thought it would be good for some interested in a new muffler and to give them something to go by.

I'm not diggin the look all that much, but then again, I had a GReddy once... I think if ya had a rear valence it'd look good though... and I'm sure it sounds awesome and is probably more free flowing...

i have the same exact muffler from AC theknic, but my whole muffler is made out of Titanium, not just the tip... its loud, but not too loud IMO. Looks great if u have the Stillen Rear Valence.

You do whatever you want on your car. I just got a new muffler from ebay. Should be here in a little bit. I prefer the dual tip because of the shape of the rear bumper. I hope it sounds good when it goes on here... I need a picture of my dogs like you do on your sig...

It doesn't look that big. Some full sized shots would give a better overall view, but it's not that bad. I prefer the dual tip design, but it's decent.

I think so but the muffler itself is smaller than the Greddy, and I have a sound clip if somweone will host it for me.

Take some better pictures of it, like from further away. I dont think that it looks that bad and I have seen a lot worse.

Maybe now we can work on something to fix the rest of your 6th gen's rear end.

Uh... can we not start this again please? I think many of us have had enough of the 5th Gen vs 5.5 Gen vs 6th Gen threads....
