no problem at all - it�s changed day to day but I think all roads lead to The Fister D and possibly pair it with a set of sport cats.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

As I was researching different exhausts systems and setups online, I started to keep track of them. I didn�t see a consolidation of these clips on the forum. So hopefully this helps anyone else looking!

Nice thread! While the recordings are sort of all over the place as far as levels and types of sounds (some just sitting and some actually driving) it's definitely helpful to have all of them in one place! Thanks

Quick clip of muffler deletes with stock cats kicking up dust from my driveway and rattling the phone, it's loud. I love it.

Well done.
There are so many to choose from.
When I was trying to decide, I keep a file with all the YouTube videos, then narrowed it down.
I did go a different route, Kline long tube headers, Tubi Style with a X-Pipe.
A little bit higher, F1 type wale at high rpm.
Cargraphic was a close second.
I like my muffler delete as well. The only issue I had was the drone so I added Car Chemistry baffles and it kept most of the sound while reducing the drone.
Fister D sounds great and I think you will be happy with the sport cats. My OEM mufflers were rusted along the seams and being in Canada the Fister D option was a bit expensive. I went with a complete Top Gear set up on my 2001 C2 Cab - long tube headers, 200 cell x-pipe sport cats (stock tube size) with the so-called mild mufflers. Very happy with the sound and overall noise level considering it is a Cab. I did have second thoughts about the louder Sport mufflers but one year in I am happy with my choice. One thing I will say is the stainless steel finish didn't last long - it looks pretty rough considering I only drove a handful of times in the winter and never when the roads were wet.
Umm.. hello how could mine not be part of this... best sounding 3.4 on the planet
I might be a little biased since I made it thought lol
Few more vids on my youtube(DD Builds) channel of the exhaust tearing it up.

For that exhaust I had cut the headers and redirected them a little bit to go into 4-shorty bullet mufflers with an X-pipe. It was sold to a fellow member here on the forum but I don't think he's shown a video of it yet.
The new one I'm making for the engine swap is similar but headers are equal length this time.
Anyone have the loud TopGear silencers with their 200 cel cats? I�m really considering the loud ones. I currently have stock with the 200 cel cats and it�s nice but still mild to me. Would like something loud but not feel like I do when I get off my Harley after sb hour on the highway. Most of my driving is with the top down and crank the radio to drown out the wind.
That's me! After 100 miles on my break-in 3.4 to 3.8 rebuild, I've decided it's too loud. Have Soul Performance headers and catless crossover pipes on the way. Not sure about mufflers yet. Fabspeed mufflers are shot. Selling ttt123 custom exhaust. Send me a PM if interested.
I have some clips in this thread but if anyone is interested for a more real life feel for the muffler deletes the link in my sig has some longer videos with a good mix of spirited driving and cruising.
2 more, and I think the Ultima version might be the winner for me in the end.

They do cost way more than the FVD, Quicksilver, and Cargraphics I'm deciding between though.
Just thought I would put mine up here

This one I had to give the hit to a MB, but caught him. First and only afternoon at at Dragstrip with it.

I've posted these elsewhere, but this thread seems like the common place for those wanting to hear some exhaust music...

Just my five cents
I recently mounted on my car (02 C4S) the FVD Brombacher Sport Sound Version
https://www.fvd.net/de-en/BES9960500...ort-sound.html
I didn't find any video in internet that would show the sound of only the mufflers.
I can say that Im really happy with the upgrade. Subtle at iddle and lower rpm, but with a nice tone and a bit more of volume when you are on throttle over 3K rpm
I would totally recommend it (no affiliation) if you are looking for a setup that gives an "oem" sport sound but without being too loud.
