It was a little raspier than this, and a noticeable amount quieter. The guys at the shop took out a Super 40 and a regular 40 to show me the difference; the S40 is quite a bit bigger and heavier and painted black. Different.
You can hear what little lope the stock engine has easily, and the sound stays consistent through the RPM range as far as I could tell when I drove it with the windows rolled down.
Doesn't really get that ricey tone at higher RPMs like GPs are known for doing. I considered getting the res cut out, but I'm glad I didn't.
that can only be heard in person.
I'm glad that you like the Super 40s Arc.
Let your neighbors get used to the Super 40s. Mine did and especially in the morning when I turn on the GP when it's nice and quiet.
One of my friends who happens to live across the street is a GP owner and is on a few of the boards came running over to hear the exhaust the day I got it done.
Yup. The Super 40s are noticeably heavier and painted that way.
Yes, you hear more of the engine. Turn on your GP and get behind her and listen to it. Just listen. I still til this day and I've had the exhaust for 2 years.
You can hear a big change in pitch. I remember when the GP was first fired up the exhaust guy was "Wow!".
Get the resonator cut out and you'll hear more roar.
