I haven't seen many mid muffler set up on s197 models so I thought I would throw this up for for those looking for a new set up or those questioning sound on certain set ups.

The off road pipes really made a dramatic difference in the sound, increased the volume along with echo in the exhaust (which I like) but added lots of rasp on decent acceleration and idle revs (that aren't shown in the after).

I will be exploring a few options for reducing the rasp and will make another video accordingly but it will be a while. If anyone has ideas on how to do so, I'm open to options! Thanks!

The off road X will cause more rasp than an H pipe. That could have something to do with it.

I knew x-pipes were infamous for rasp, but I think it has to do with the combination of the muffler type, and x mid pipe. Because I have heard other o/r x set ups in person that didn't have the rasp.

I think straight through muffler designs in combination with o/r x pipes cause the rasp.

I worry that an o/r h will just replace the rasp with another obnoxious sound instead of solving the issue.

I'm surprised that's not louder.

I put mid mufflers on mine just to act as resonators (after the headers), and just for giggles I took the axle back off and fired it up. Those little mufflers don't really do much muffling...and I still had cats on there too. Granted this is with long tube headers but I do have an H pipe on there.

I imagine this has to do with the camera. In person, it's much louder. The mic on the camera didn't really pick up the rasp that well either, it sounds good throughout the whole video, but in person, it got raspy on the loudest parts of the launch portion of the video. The x I think is quieter because it flows better than the h also.

Thanks man
Hopefully sometime on Saturday you can if I can make my way to the Pep Boys show. What's the time frame for the show?

Does anyone know how much a high flow cat reduces the sound on the exhaust? Does it do as much as the stock cats???
