MKO Exhaust
I got my 4in. exhaust installed lastnight. On my initial test drive I was able to hear my turbo spool up for the first time in seven years, kinda cool. The wierd thing was while driving at 25 to 30 you could hear a noise that reminded me of a kid riding a bike with playing cards clapping in the spokes. Kind of a snapping type of sound. I am sure nothing was wrong it just was a strange sound, a new sound. All in all I am pleased with the new exhaust.

the down pipe is only 4" (same as your system) but the rest is 5". All it does is sound alot louder. haha Nick hit the nail on the head. Anything past 10PM and its dirty looks and head shakes. lol
