Sound clip of Super Touring cat-back

OK, finally finished with the sound clip of Modacar's "in-house"
version of the Comptech cat-back exhaust system. This system
sells for $505 including shipping...thats $376 less than the
Comptech system!

Its a high quality, polished stainless steel system, tig welded,
that goes on without a hitch....fits perfectly using the stock
mounting points.

The exhaust note is a low, agressive, non-raspy sound, which
you can now judge for yourself....heres the sound clip link:

See what ya think....I just don't see the $376 difference, not
even close.....

Wow sounds much better than I expected! Glad that worked out for you. Looks like I have another exhaust to choose from

Do you by any chance have a comptech RSB and if so did this exhaust fit with it?

...I'm going out on a limb here so please excuse my ignorance
if I'm wrong....but, I take it that "RSB" stands for rear sway
bar.....

The answer is no, I do not have the Comptech rear sway bar
on mine.....but, I'm confident if you called a guy named Dale
at Modacar, (1-925-371-5888), he could probably answer that
question, since they not only sell the Super Touring exhaust, but
also the full line of Comptech products. He should know that
answer....

you are right... RSB means " Rear Sway Bar".

Before I purchased, Dale at Modacar, stated that the sound of
the Comptech and their Super Touring, were basically the same.
Thats when I then googled a sound clip for the Comptech, which
I liked after hearing it.

Now, after installing the Super Touring, I agree with Dale...to
me, it sounds the same as the Comptech sound clip.

May I suggest that you do the same as I did, as I doubt that I
will be doing a drive-by recording....sorry.
