The sound level over all is quite good. There is a resonance at some RPM/load ranges as many have said. I can deal with that. The wife says it feels faster. As the driver it’s harder to tell. It must be a lot louder outside. More people turn around to look what’s coming.
On AM its advertised as "Max Dyno Gains of +12.84 HP and +1728 lb/ft Torque" LOL

There have been several tests of this and its not true, there is no power loss from the crush pipes and nothing to be gained from replacing them. Apparently there is a noticeable sound difference though. I probably will end up replacing mine but with a midpipe when I start modifying my car and am okay tuning out the AFM system.
