    I agree, it does. I love my exhaust when it isn't above 2300 rpm, but when it gets there on the interstate I can't stand it.

    Yea I can relate. My Borla even does it sometimes but really only when I get on it going up the mountain. You definitely need a performance based exhaust though over stock. Check into Aero Turbine or even Borla like mine. Neither of them seem to have the louder drone sound that I believe you are referring to.

    I'll swap back to stock and see if I like it, then consider changing again later. It's really a preference mod rather than performance for these vehicles lol

    Looking forward to seeing your t-shirts! As someone that is a huge fan of Patagonia (both as a company and their clothing quality) I look forward to ordering something from you all when its off and running! I know I mentioned it before but I would definitely recommend looking into the new orleans based company TASC for some t-shirts, I have no idea of the wholesale costs but I've paid $35+ for t-shirts from them that have been silk screened with other companies logo's/designs and love them. Been looking for more companies that sell their stuff as I like designs on them over the plain/no design ones!

    As an aside, if you've never read the book by Patagonia founder Yvonne Chuinnard (spelling?) "Let my people go surfing" it is a good read, especially if you are interested in running a business in what may be seen by others as "against the norm".

    I honestly didnt even know the price on their site, but the t-shirt material/quality is amazing. They are bamboo and IMO are better than Under Armor etc for working out in etc. With that said, I bought nearly 10 of their t-shirts in a 2 year period when I lived in Pensacola as a little place there called "Intracoastal Outfitters" sold them with their name on the front chest area and a cool design of the pandhandle with a compass on the back. I believe they were about $35 from them, Wes (the owner of Intracoastal), told me that TASC actually printed their images on the shirts for him so they came to him ready to sell!

    man I like the sound of that, and something about a "bamboo shirt" I believe will really really appeal to the outdoors-type.

    Exactly why I prefer a performance based exhaust over stock, these things need all the help they can get!

    yeah, but the "performance" benefit the exhaust REALLY gives you is so minimal is why I'm saying it's more of a sound preference for the individual

    I mean it does make it quitter... mine is just load cuz I have a cheap straight thru glass pack behind it and you also wouldn't have to get above 2300 rpms as often with another 100lb/ft so double win

    You do know that the largest religion in India is Hinduism, a Dharmic religion which has peace at it's inner core... just an FYI in case you thought the guy on the other end of the phone was one of those evil Muslims you've been taught to fear so much.
