i dont like the sound. it doesnt sound loud at all and it sounds like the engine is louder than exhaust. should have kept the stock muffler lol.

I think it sounds awsome. Nice and throaty the whole time. Gets rid of the lawnmower buz the 7thgen stock exhaust has.

I mean its no rice ball extra loud exhaust = awsome in my books

Thanks, it's exactly what I was looking for - better sound, not more sound.
I was really impressed with the quality as well.

BTW, don't you have a group buy on these now?

I have it and love it. I took my AEM SRI off because it was too loud and I could bearly hear the exhaust. I would rather have it quiet but sound nice. The WS2 is

That's a good price. Too bad you guys don't have a Canadian office - paying the duty and brokerage fees hurts.

Feels like it has a little more pull at low RPMs and near the redline. Mid range feels about the same as after I put on the intake. Hard to say w/o a dyno though

Yeah, I was going to buy the RSR, but after some of the things that I have heard about it turned me away...If I buy another exhaust for my car, it will be the WS2...It sounds amazing in person and in the car as well...Really deep tone and not raspy whatsoever.

hm.. i just might go and buy me a WS2, i was thinking about getting the EVO2, but i'm not really diggin the huge tip and canister look, and i think i might just go ahead and scrape that ish every bump i go over if i got the evo2.. so eh =|

i have never heard a WS2 in person and i personally feel sound clips do no justice to exhaust sounds because it can take away alot of the frequencies if proper equipment isn't used, and can vary with different speakers and what not so yea if anyone has a WS2 in SO CALI and would like to let me hear their exhaust, that would be tizzight!
