I am really loving this exhaust. Just a tad louder in normal mode, but in m mode, when you get on it, it is definitely a little loude,r deeper and more powerful sounding. Zero drone at any speed in either mode. In fact, under normal driving, you barely notice a difference. I too wish it was just a little louder. As if I need another reason to get down pipes...

Which brand did you go with? Any gas smell with the race cats? Have you tried to get a normal inspection with the race cats?

No gas smell. I had catless before but couldn't live with the gas smell. Brand AR. No inspection yet but should not be a problem.

There is probably a very slight HP gain (single digits) but nothing you would be able to feel in a 5500 lb vehicle. It does sound faster though!
