+1



How does this video correspond at all to the OP's Arqray install?

So... Radar vs Sonar = Z4Villalonia (whatever)??

[zubydafa]

haha. odd place to put that vid, but whatever works for you.


i have a cold so i didn't go out tonight. instead i was on the floor of my cold garage working on the refitment of my mufflers

i think it's pretty spot on now.

Defo too much time without both hands on the steering wheel, pick you gear nice and early, try alittle heal and toe or rev match on the downshifts, its alot smoother..... overall i can see your just like me, a car enthusiast, just be careful out their with your life and others :-)

OP i love the arquay, lovely quality, yessss the adjustment is MUCH better!!!! they really scream quality imo.... car sounds GREAT as well, you must be really pleased, i like this option also as its pretty rare.

sigh. yea i gained a bunch of rasp putting the x-pipe on. the arqray alone sounded great..just not loud enough.

what do you think...take the x-pipe out?

[ZStig]

yeah... its only a matter of time before you get headers, and it'll make the rasp REALLY bad.

Sounds ok now, in my personal opinion.

[zubydafa]

thanks for weighing in.

effing s54...motor sounds great and the exhaust is turns into a buzzing bee. i'll probably put the oem x-pipe back in and go for euro headers.

reconfigure till i'm happy i guess.

[Jumbosock]

Sounds good and I'm lovin those tips A LOT! Euro with these cans would be interesting (with oem X pipe).

[Jumbosock]

Has the tone changed at all now that the cans are broken in?

[Aries326]

Arqray sounds perfect. It looks like they make a non-M version. This may be the exhaust I end up buying I. The future. Thanks for sharing the videos!

YUP! i was worried about the crackle and rasp when i first installed it. the x-pipe install was within like two weeks of the arqray cans.

now that i've got a good 1k miles on the system, it's gotten a nice deep growl to it. LOVE the suble backpressure pop in first gear when i let off the throttle. i try to induce it sometimes lol.

the sound is refined.

the most recent video i have of the system (x-pipe and arqray) is in the mod update thread in the general section.

headers go in on the 31st! i'll keep you all posted.
