My AutoExe exhaust

Yes, its true, it was fitted today after a long wait of almost 2 months (Rupe?).

I don't have pics or vids! I don't have time today, off to work soon, going in early to make some more moolah. I'll have some tomorrow afternoon promise!

Got a nice rumble to it, not overly loud (so pleased about that). Can just hear the rumble in the background at 2k revs, at 60km/h. At idle can't notice it too much with music on (not very loud, I wanted to hear it). I haven't really floored it at all, just up to about 3,000, gets louder, but nice

Wow - the tip. Used to my stock 1.75" tip I think... the new one is huge. Can't stop looking at it.

Hmm thats all there is for now, until pictures and videos.

About all they make these days (that i know of/is or isn't listed on their site) is braided brake lines, and the Lantis Coupe muffler that Pluty's got.

Haha I know - just two months really isn't so long :P

It's not like its your fault, if there was no such thing as gravity . . . .

Nice exhaust Plutonus, looks shiny

Sounds good - has a nice rasp to it!


Lantis sound file from Autoexe site just for comparison: herer, but i reckon it's on a V6 not a 1.8.
