I been looking at the DC Sport Exhaust, and i just put my GMPP Exhaust on but the only thing i hate it that i can barley hear it when i drive, mostly only in the low rpm's. Anyone who has a DC Sport Exhaust can you post and video up of how it sounds on the 2.2L engine. Thanks, for any idea or your opinions and possibly a soundclip.

That is the purpose of the GMPP exhaust, only a little louder, but with about the same gain as the rest of them, and usually cheaper too.

Answer this question.

Do you really want to listen to your exhaust if you had to drive to Chicago? 8+ hours of droning noise?

And its quiet because our cars have excellent sound insalation. You would notice it instantly by driving a different car on the highway. Just put your windows down come spring and you should be able to hear it just fine.

I have also read that some claim their car got louder by adding a header.

A header will definately liven it up. BTW, you really think the GMPP is too quiet? When I get on it, its certainly not quiet.

You're sure you got the Touring instead of the Performance. My GMPP is not quiet, sounds very similar if not a little louder than the DC Sport Exhaust.

Mine is never quiet, LOL. I picked up redlineblueline at his house last night, his dad (a cop) made it a point to call to inform him he didn't think my car could possibly be street legal because it was too loud.

If you want to hear your exhaust put your back seat down, i put mine down for other reasons and it sounds like i can hear it more. Maybe its juse me tho, but give it a try.

I got the performance exhaust, idk maybe its just me but it usually starts to sound good once my coolant temps are around 180 and higher.
