Did you buy a part and think it was awesome, or did you think it was a piece of crap? Let everyone know here so we know not to buy the same product.

It will net a few ponies, but not much more. It's just the muffler that's important. It's a bit more raspier than a SOHC muffler

It has more of a different rumble to it than loudness.

On my DOHC I tried a SOHC muffler on it, and it was a little quietter, but the only difference really was up top

I have a DOHC muffler on my SOHC, it sounds good. It not loud at all. Has a nice grumble at idle and is more noticeable at WOT. Like these guys said, all you need is just the muffler.

i cant wait to get rid of my "fart can" my brother put on. i have an srt rear section and resonator ready to go. i have heard the dohc on a sohc, wasnt too bad. for lack of a muffler my buddy stuck a sohc on his n/a 2.4 and it sounded goofy as shit.
It's not the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stop at the bottom!
