Default Having been around when VM1 was first introduced . . .

I doubt that they could've made it that much quieter than vm1/vm2(w/resonated tips)

Default my VM2 isn't all that loud...certainly louder than my neuspeed. all relative tho...

but when you get on the gas oh man oh man. and i love revving just to hear that VM2 gurgle!

FWIW the VM3 is supposedly a little quieter than the VM2, so it'll probably be a little louder than the neuspeed. rob@uuc is not in today so i couldn't get the skinny from him

Default you would need an independent test (like the old chip shootout)

but even those results would be put into question (just like chip results were). Sound is relative when it comes to exhaust systems. I love the sound of Mustang 5.0's, but I'd never in my life put that exhaust on my S4.

Default This is not an

exhaust to get if you want quiet performance. This thing will most def sound like it's predecessors. The VM1 and VM2 are both beasts. While the claim that the VM3 will be quieter, I don't think it will be by much. I don't have sound clips available, but both VM exhausts are MUCH louder than my Borla.

Default why don't you call 'em yourself? :)

btw Rob@UUC is off today. ask me how I know. he'd be the one that would be best to answer VM3 questions

smokin_s4 is getting the prototype later this week so i'm sure he'll post his impressions (and hopefully sound clips)

If you want a quiet/high performing/ excellent quality dual exhaust just wait for the AWE dual.
