Definitely sounds different, smoother overall but now the real test is to rev that baby higher to see how it sounds. Good job so far.
I guess I'm the minority here but I really love the way the S55 sounds especially in ZCP/CS form. |

Keep in mind this exhaust is catless and if you fit catless downpipes and remove the secondary cats with the MPE, it sounds absolutely dreadful. The MPE doesn't make power either and this exhaust makes 35hp. The MPE advantage is lighter weight as the stock rear muffler is pretty heavy and I'd think the MPE would also sound good with this resonated midpipe.

Until someone fabricates equal-length downpipes or equal-length mid-pipes prior to both banks merging, its like beating a dead horse and chasing after something that isn't going to happen. The mid pipes currently on the market only merge two unequal-length exhaust pulses, cancelling raspy, but keeping that still buzzy/boxy sounding nature. |

It smooths the sound out, but it’s not a desirable tone.

Congrats, now it sounds like a Honda with a fart can.

lol just buy a new car if your so unsatisfied with the sound..
does my f80 with remus+aa+tune sound a little buzzy; popcorny; and like late stage emphysema patient. sure; sometimes it sounds pretty good. sometimes the burbles sound amazing; sometimes popcorn. sometime when accelerating to to 5k rpm sound menacing; other times sounds muted and a large fart at upshift lol if a gt350 drives next to me; the lightbulb always goes off; why didn't I just get that. sound is very important to me; probably a lot more than even most memebers on this fourm. but there are many other factors to the car. tbh that exhaust clip sounds stock; even with my full exahust setup youll never truly change its character. and im okay with that. most people probably hate your exhaust anyway |

I have had multiple exhaust set ups on this car, from the x-pipe and 2 magna flow set up, to the the AA mid pipe, to the full AA pipe, to the AA mid to the comp exhaust, to the AA mid pipe with Eisemman rear. I recently had just the dinnan rear and it sounds great. I wanted more volume and I replaced the stock secondary resonators with the small magna flow race mufflers keeping the stock H-pipe resonator and wow the car is absolutely sounding amazing. I'll post a clip later, but from all the other set ups I would agree that having the correct amount of resonators and material does work wonders on the rasp.

Meh, to each his own. I happen to enjoy the sound of my exhaust setup with AA mid. It doesn't sound nearly as bad as you try to make it seem.

It doesn't just apply to the S55 though, it pretty much pertains to any engine/exhaust configuration, with other factors that change the character of the "tone" (overlap induced staccato-like sound etc etc). Some examples: Ever wondered why a 5.0L in a ford F150 sounds different and more "truckish" then a 5.0L in a Mustang? Its because the f150 has unequal-length downpipes that merge on the passenger side, making the drivers side downpipe longer, and not allowing for equally spaced pulses. Or even why the 3.7L in the f150 sounds different than the 3.7L in the Mustang V6. Or even a 1995 Nissan Maxima(prior cars eons ago for me), the OE downpipes were equal-length (smoother sounding, think n54 as an example), but aftermarket downpipes were unequal in length with the front bank longer than the rear bank, which changed the sound to a more S55-like, obviously not the exact same sound, but just an example of how important it is for sound quality of equalized pulses on both banks. Again there are other factors that contribute to sound, however this is the piece where I would start at that will completely change the overall character of the sound quality.
