Yes. It actually gave me unexpected results. The muffler seems quieter in cab with both valves open and closed. From outside it is louder than before. It completely changed the tone of the exhaust to a deeper rumble. Standing behind my car while it was being revved was loud with the AA. Now with the mad axle back with valves open you almost have to cover your ears during some of the pops cause it hurts your ears. Definitely more bass, you can feel it in your chest more.

It’s just trippy cause like i said while driving it seems a tad quieter, but it’s not.

How’s cold start with valves closed?

Not that it will influence my decision anymore. I already impulse bought the Dinan.

Cold start is deeper but not necessarily louder. It actually fixed the valve rattle that’s common with the AA equal length midpipe. Neighbors should be fine. But I drive right after I start it anyways.

Other than that, I'm super happy with the wheels and how the carbon fiber kit pieces have come together. I'm also happy with my engine compartment...the matte carbon fiber really compliments the shiny exterior. What should I do next?

That thang is sick! Well done!!

I have one on my cell phone. But listening to it sounds nothing like it IRL.

Installed the automotive passion mud flaps over the weekend and had an alignment done today before the 2000 mile warranty ran out

Thanks...just added color bumper reflectors and yellow LED DLs this weekend. Zunsport Oil Cooler grill protection on later this week and while I have wheels off will go ahead and ceramic coat my wheels too. To top it off ordered Valvetronic exhaust in SS this weekend to top it off since the recent FLASH sale a x-ph.com was pretty good along with additional discounts!

Installed a Fi cat back exhaust with an SST valve controller. I’d say the sound is 30% louder then stock. More burbles with valves open for sure.

Have the AA EL as well and one of the reasons I'm considering the AA axleback is to kill the cold start rattle. And of course for more volume and tone.

Paint matched reflectors look good. Did you get those at IND?
