Well, on a positive note, I've already got a true 3" DP I wasn't using, so I suppose the Thermal R&D exhaust would put that to use. I just wish it was closer to stock sounding. It's nice being able to flog the car a little without drawing any unwanted attention. You never know who's listening and judging. The Thermal R&D may not have any drone but it still seems to be much louder than stock based on the youtube vids.
