Stromung exhaust vids

1st


2nd


I confused these are the same exhaust but the 1st one sounds a lot better in the higher rpm range. I know these are both the same, but i don't know if there is certain factor like one exhaust is cold and the other isn't. For the people who have heard it in person which one does it sound more like?

Not heard one in person but youtube clips arent really indicative of an exhausts real world sound.. The difference in the two clips is most likely because of a different camera.

hmmm, it sounds like the first vid is missing all the highs, and the 2nd vid is missing all the lows.
Maybe in real life it's somwhere in between?
Where can you purchase this exhaust anyway? Is it direct from Stromung?

Well, I took the plunge and ordered up a Stromung today!! After a lot of soul searching between the RE diablo and RPI GT I came to the realization that I was eventually going to do an X-pipe and headers to get some actual power gains. With that in mind I decided to go with a more mild system initially. I'll report back with pics when it arrives (should be late next week).

Gratz on your purchase. I've been contemplating these cans as well. They SEEM to have nice sound. At their price-point, if the welds are decent and there's not a crapload of drone... then it's win-win!

please keep us informed!

^these were a consideration as well, but scarce information + reviews + delivery timeframe made this choice less attractive. please post up some vids and a review!

Haha this may sound funny but I THINK yours was shipped on Wendsday or Thursday. When I ordered mine Scott mentioned it was strange as he just shipped one to Canada.

I'm very excited I think it's going to be exactly what I'm looking for.

actually not, my local tuner shop gets their stuff shipped to their warehouse in US border but then i guess Scott said that since the tuner shop is from Canada

The second one (white m)is very accurate. Very limited drone.

It's not going on until next month more than likely. Winter refuses to leave and I have my heart set on doing the suspension, wheels, and exhaust in one day. Who knows though I may crack sooner.

question, hope OP doesnt mind... does the exhaust have a prevalent metalic tone to it that is similar to the 2nd clip (white car) pretty much throughout the rev range?

I think your right brake light is out? Otherwise the sound is decent.
