Video posted yesterday....
....thoughts? I literally just bought a Thermal 3in catback that's coming in tomorrow. Never heard of this company or exhaust, but I'm not sold either way, I don't know if it's truly a catback that they show in the video, they never show under the car to prove there is no downpipe, also a lot of edits while normal driving to showcase drone. Guy in video could just be paid to do a video review so bias could be in play. It does sound good though, definitely sounds "meaner", turbo spool is louder, but does the other comparison Explorer truly have a 3in Thermal or 2.5in?

They’ve already said it drones even without downpipes. It sounds raspy, not a good option to me. Thermal is still king.

"They've"? On this forum? Tried to search it up, no results. Who tested it? I can see how it would sound raspy, from the video you can easily tell the Thermal has a deeper tone.

I-5 themselves said it. It would be worse with downpipes.

Really? Would be interesting to see more video clips and reviews on this exhaust, but I am relieved to know the Thermals are still the best because I absolutely hate drone, it ruins the drive for me.

"Best" is subjective, especially when it comes to exhaust. I would argue AWE is better. Looks better, doesn't drone, tips are bigger, and they're made in PA.
