Re: DMC Houston Performance

["apgiapgi" <clarkdmc@xxxx>]

I spent about a week at the DMC Houston center while my car had 
about $10,000 of repairs/upgrades made (not exhaust or engine 
performance-related...just things that needed fixing or that 
improved daily-driver reliability). I was able to listen to (and 
drive) two individual cars that sported the performance exhaust that 
DMC Houston sells. BTW, in each of these cars, the whole DMC 
Houston engine upgrade had been done, not just the exhaust system 
upgrade. 

The overall effect was that the exhaust had a very nice deep, 
throaty tone. Another thing I liked was the effect of the 
performance cam upgrade on the exhaust sound (a loping, 60's muscle 
car sound). I definitely liked the tone of the new exhaust, and 
prefer it over the stock quiet system. It was louder (than stock) 
inside the passenger compartment, but you could hold a conversation 
over it unless you were really stomping the accelerator. Remember 
that you will be listening to a 6-cylinder engine, not an 8-cylinder 
engine that I associate with 60's muscle cars; the effect is very 
similar but not exactly identical. It's definitely cool, though.

I have also decided, because I liked the way the new exhaust sounded 
to me, that eventually I will get the new exhaust system, whether or 
not I go with any other engine upgrades.

If you have just the exhaust how does it sound and does it make much 
of a difference?
