So, we’ve had a chance to take it out on some rides…
My brother took it on a day ride, and said while it is definitely a little louder, it’s not obnoxiously so. He’s still thinking of putting the stock manifold back on, just to take a little edge off the sound.
I got to drive it around the 3 days at Matt’s Off-road Games, and I agree. Outside, it’s a little raw sounding on the exhaust. Inside it’s still quiet enough to hold a normal conversation, but it could use a little something to take just a little bit off raw sound.
The tone sounds good to me. Definitely adds a sportier sound. We still haven’t found out if they have the “Quiet Core” tip for these, but whether we do that, or go back to the OEM manifold, I’ll update on the results.
