Custom Axle Back Straight Pipe

Well I finally finished my custom straight pipe to finish off my aftermarket header back exhaust. I have loved the race sound it emits without any axle back but I needed to get the sound out the end of rear bumper since it was too loud for highway driving.

This new axle back is great, it doesn't have too much sound under normal driving, but under heavy load.....well check the video. I painted it flat black and you can't see it very well in the vid along with my trailer hitch back there too. I owe my Fit some decent pics now that I have the coilovers set and aligned, but I gotta remove the trailer hitch.

This is way louder than the RCAutoworks exhaust that girl had clips of. Either its a difference in the camera's or I'm going crazy, but this one is loud and has a lot of rasp.

I am running a T1r header and test pipe, along with a megan b pipe, so there is a little more rasp than the rcautoworks pipe on the stock exhaust. I am really impressed on how quiet it is under normal driving but once I get on it it turns into a full blown race car note.

I''ll get a drive by later today along with some close up pics.

Are you kidding me?
I have the T1R header, b pipe and spoon n1 and i was going to add a test pipe. and i want it to sound like that vid but right now i hate how quiet the exhaust is.
On a scale of 1 - 10
10 being the video
what would you say ur combo is at?

my setup right now i think i'm at a 6.
Not sure how much louder it will get with the test pipe added
