    Imagine not liking the sound half of a 90's formula 1 engine makes

    I do not have any video. Best I could possibly get is an iphone video if that helps at all?

    If I can get my hands on a supersprint section 2 dual piped resonated, I'll give that a shot. Tbonem3 had some bad things to say about how it sounded though.
    Supersprint single-pipe resonated sect 2 and race cats in sect 1 is the way to go IMO if you are looking to tone down the rasp. I run this setup with Euro Headers and even with the SS race sect 3 which is on the louder side it’s less raspy than the OG video.

    Clean car btw…even if Matt doesn’t like it!

    I do find my car extra buzzy and raspy in the low end, especially around 3k rpm. Which is odd considering I have the dual resonated section 1, and stock section 2. I'm wondering if swapping the section 2 for the dual resonated supersprint would make a difference. Not that I dislike it though, it sounds incredible from outside the car at WOT.

    Scza is extra buzzy/boomy. I got rid of mine after 3weeks with it. The Dixis I replaced it with got rid of most of the buzz but lost some volume.

    and I wouldn’t consider carbon fiber roof to be basic I’ve never seen one in NC with one besides mine
