It's definately loud enough to hear it well in the cabin. As for a nice deep sound, eh... Maybe it was just the one I heard, but it was very Honda-ish, with quite a bit of ricer rasp, although not fartcan bad.

loud, yes... deep, so so.
you'll hear it in the cabin, all right... though you may not hear your radio.

I love the sound of the Stromung but I can't seem to find anywhere in Great Britain that sells them

Do they go under a different name of can they only be bought from the USA or Germany?

an inline motor will never sound honduh-ish...
mine isn't raspy, maybe the one your heard had a bad cat Variance
mine has kind of a hollowish noise to it, that i enjoy...

you'll be pleased with the sound if your car is running well.. its way louder in the car that outta the car from my experience... sounds good when u walk it up to redline

and my radio has no problems drowning out the sound of the exhaust
You must have really got stuck hard Marko

Initially I thought it sounded a bit "fart can-ish" but after a few months it has improved and reminds me more of my old 72 TR6

no probs... I think I got it figured out. place in NJ called Mufflex (trenton) does custom fabrication (for a reasonable price I hear). I'll take the Stromung POS there, & have them replace the 2.25 inch piping with 2.0 (or even maybe 1.75 stock size - only mandrel bent), while keeping the Stromung back box. hope that'll drown it a bit...

you could always get your resonator from the stocker installed on the new pipe, im sure that would hush it up a little bit

i don't mind my sound, i can't say i love it but i definitly don't hate it... and FWIW, kickass, my exhaust didn't sound much like those understeer vids

just spoke to the guys @ Mufflex & they'll charge me about $200 to swipe the piping... not cheap, but better than 'writing off' $500 I already spent on the POS.

I should have just spent $650 the first time around and gotten a SS system from Bavarian Autosport. but hey, live & learn, right?
