Awesome!
I like the quad-exhaust, even better looking than 550's dual-oval

Looking good
I'm wondering if you ever had considered quad exhaust from 3D design?

Love it bro. Finally some better photos. The Supersprint is sick. How's the sound and any added HP?

Nice wish list.

Folks, thanks for the compliments.

Hi pyramid, I can only go with approved exhaust which is supersprint or Remus currently in Singapore and it is not easy to get exhaust certified here if you do it alone. Therefore, not worth the effort even l like a particular exhaust.

Hi rc3, it is bassy and for sure better response. I am not sure on the horse gained but l kinda of like the response that kicks in.

Looks nice. But personally hated loud exhaust. They may announce the car's presence but is a major nuisance to neighbours. There's a GT3RS in the neighbourhood and everytime that car fires it's engine, the windows at my apartment will shake. And I live on >15 floors above it!

Besides, here in HK, too many crummy cars replace there exhaust with loud ones. So we always joke about loud exhausts cars can't go fast, so they have to be loud for people to notice

Not to mention loud exhausts are police magnets due to noise control regulations here......

I love the Tesla roadster. Fast and almost silent

Mlai, l agree with you, it's either you love it or hate it. Ss is bassy but it is not as loud as my previous wrx n evos on hks many many years back. So if you ask me l think this exhaust is still bearable and it did not shake my windows of my 3 storey house when l warmed up by car this morning.

Right. If I want to be invisible by going real dark against the night, I better be undetectable by sound as well

Now, where did I put the Batman outfit that I thrown out because I gained too much weight

That's what I gathered too. SS exhaust is "more refined" and not as loud as the others. I've heard of it being referred to as the "gentlemen's exhaust" or one that is more suitable to the older crowd because it is not loud at all.

Did you notice any reduction in low end torque? Particularly going uphill...

If you can get us sound clips that would be nice

Awesome mods btw! What you have is everything on my list except for the roundels and the leds.

Do you want roundels? I have carbon fibre roundels sitting at home. Haven't installed on my car yet

l agree with bro jnxco, l just had lunch with my friend who is very particular about noise and he felt the ss exhaust noise is still subtle and at the same time providing more response. Singapore does not really have alot of uphill places, therefore, yet to feel any difference. l like your idea of your roundels but if you want it black, sticker it on, cheap and good looking .

Bro Grimlock, it costs SGD2.5k to have the SS exhaust installed in Singapore.

Mlai, exhaust noise is sujective and it depends on the specs of the cars one drive, maybe l am used to all these noises all these years even my current maser GT who has in build stock exhaust is bassy and l like it so much....

Agree, tinybeammer bro. Supersprint is known to be more subtle and not loud. Good choice.

SGD2.5k is a good deal, around HKD16k. Here is around HKD20k for the SS. Hamann costs a bit more. You don't have Hamann there in SG? But they are similar, Hamann made by SS, just a bit different for the spec.

Hi bro rc3, yes we do have other exhausts in Singapore which is based on indent basis like hamann, eisenmann and akrapovic, but it has to be certify street legal before going on the road which will be safer than getting yourself into trouble. It costs abt sgd 3.5k when l enquire 2 months back but when l went down to install yesterday, it was sgd 1k down. No regrets l would say. My e46 330 was using eisenmann as well as my bro in laws 335 was using akrapovic was street legal when we installed on our ride previously.

Bro jnxco, l just came home after dinner and manage to go uphill for a short distance, low end torque seems ok and response is lighter l would say.
