So I decided to add a little bit of real data to this thread instead and let people decide for themselves. I just went out and made a little video...its with my blackberry so its a little shotty....but you get the point. Holding a phone, driving, and shifting all at the same time was hard haha......I shifted nice and slow so you could hear it.... I'm 100% stock at the moment...video is from inside with windows up leaving my house.
What do you think? Harsh or not?
Edit: I think a lot of people may have upgraded exhaust before their breakin period was over and may have never even heard the car at redline stock.
