Fit sport, does it sound sporty?

When im driving, the throttle feels like its got that sporty muffler (i dont know shit about this btw), but is it realy? cuz i kno i look back there n i see a one inch tube and im not lettin ma friends drive it by me just so i can hear it. So does any1 have a video of a stock fit revving or drivin by? or if its got that sporty sound?

axle back is an aftermarket muffler that connects at the axle. cat back is an aftermarket exhaust that runs from the catalytic converter back. it really depends on what you want for the price you will pay. i just got the spoon n1 axleback for 367.

depends how loud you want too. or what look your going for. i would recomend megan axle back or the spoon or the t1r v2 i think. those all do a great job. spoon is quite a bit louder though the rest sound sportier but not fart can or loud

thats how it sounds. no video tricks. im not sure any mechanic would have it. go to their web site and order online. they offer a header, cat delete b-pipe, and axle back if your interested in the full exhaust. they are simple bolt on pieces too where you take two bolts out, unhook the hangers off the stock muffler, then rehook new exhaust, and reconnect all bolts and your done.

a compressor to change your own wheels? i take it your talking about swithching rubber from stockers to differant wheels. good luck with getting the equipment to do that. i let les schwab worry about that. add an intake if you want to add to the sportier sound.

Megan Axel back
