Believe APR exhaust is very deep and bassy based on my observations and friend's comments.

I bet it's the non-resonated Forge-Milltek.

Default UUC? I set off the alarm of an A4 in a parking lot... A4 was approx 30 feet away.

Can you play those sound clips again with your subwoofer? I can't remember which sounded deeper.

Default Don't want to get into pissing contest but question is fairly subjective without measuring levels -

someone had placed some "sound bites" 2 months ago with a few exhaust systems but not APRs. You may want to do search. I am sure that APR or Forge-Milltek will serve your needs.

Default And yes, the APR also sets off alarm on one car every day I go by it in garage - like I said it's a

fairly subjective question - have to admit, the car is only about 10 feet away when I pass it - don't know if it's caused by the bass or vibration or both

Default I do the same thing to this Accord at work every day since I got my Borla installed. I love it,

and to be honest, every time I pass his car, I blip the throttle a bit. Hee hee. :-)

Default Ahhhhhh all this talk about exhausts!

Makes me want to get one!

Besides the fact my buddy just got some ramps that would make the install very easy for me.

I just don't want to spend the $1,200 on the Forge.

Anyone know Jetex's website?

Damn this website, damn it to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(j/k) :-)

Default But I don't think anyone has taken the samples and figured out the audio-histogram for them yet???

That would help us to know which has a deeper tone right? The db readings only gives us the loudness?
