2.2
Less heat
Spoils quicker
Still silent excepting a small growl on start up
170 tune

Heres how mine sounds 2.4 130, i didnt notice any difference in the cab after any of the exhaust mods but you can certainly hear it with the windows down - i have done some sound proofing but not heaps.

Initially i did a big IC, Alive tune and removed the middle muffler, it sounded no different at all inside or outside the car but went a hell of a lot better, i then changed the turbo to the alive billet hybrid turbo and remove the cat, it gained a decent amount of top end power and sounded completely different exhaust note wise. It also has a very noticable turbo whistle now.
