Installed last January, 5-10min. install w/ lift.

Things I noticed:

Sounds deep.
Looks great.
Fills the bumper perfectly.
Little to no power increase.
Will give a good hum at highway speeds.
A little gargle when low in the RPM's at down shift.
$300

You have alot to choose from with $300, Shop around.

I have no idea what a regular muffler on an xB is supposed to sound or feel like. Well I suppose it sounds like my wifes xA but I have no way of comparing what it feels like on my xB because the RS 2's come with the DC Sport Muffler. Not sure if it added any power. As far as sound, in comparison to my wife's xA, it definitely has a nice humm.

Looks very good. Any chance we could get a video or sound clip when you're on the highway, and just cruising around?

Not sure how to post a sound clip, sounds like a hassle. Is there an easy way of doing it. I have a camera that will do it. The rest I'm clueless.

email it to me at [email protected] and I'll host it.

You can hear the Intake exhale at the end when I shut it off.

I love that noise, people wonder what it is whenever I park.

Whiishoosh...

I love that noise too, I have remote start on my XB and I get to be outside of my car when I shut off the engine so I get to hear it everytime.
The Axleback took me about 15 minutes to install with a floorjack....I should have done it on the Lift at my work, I hate crawling around on the ground.

just ordered my trd sport muffler. i can't wait to install it and hear the sounds. is there a diy on the exahust install or is it fairly simple to do? also does anyone have a updated link of the sound clip? the current one posted up above is broken.

 

[hayalex6]

yeah sry, I had to remove it from my webspace.

to install, it's 1 bolt.

 

[Padanky]

Yeah, very easy install. One bolt on clamp and two rubber hangers (maybe three hangers).
