I know the answers to some of them....

I picked my answer based on tune not on how deep it was. #2 has the best sound, it was nice and smooth up and down, but it wasn't as deep as #3. #3 sounded nice, but I know that it does lose some of it's deepness on WOT. I voted #3, but I think it was too close between #2 & #3. I would probably change my vote depending on the day

The objective of the thread is to demonstrate how difficult it is to make a decision of exhaust based upon clips from the net. In a separate thread, I made a comment that people probably wouldn't even know the difference if the clips weren't labeled with a brand.

Yes, if I was trying to make this scientific, I would have had them all recorded at the same distance, with the same equipment, at the same rpm revs, all from a cold start or all warmed up, etc. But once again, this is a simulation of the variation you get in clips on the net.

I will give the thread ample time to get as many votes as possible, and then I will let you know the brand and setup of each of the clips.

What a great thread! I voted for 4 but 1 and 10 were second. I thought 2 sounded like *** when revved up but it sounded the best at idle.

I like the idea of the thread, in fact let it ride for awhile before uncovering the names.

I'm a bit surprised that some of the exhaust "gurus" haven't chimed in saying they know which exhaust lines up with which clip. We have all read the threads where someone claims brand x is the best sounding or this is better than that, etc...where are they now??? So if you're impatiently waiting for basketballord to uncover the answers, step up and 'guess' if you got the stones to take the challenge!

I'll admit I have no clue which is which.

I know a few of them, but the first post said not to guess which brand is which.
