yea has a deeper tone to it and the raspy part is cause my y pipe but im replacing that soon. yea sonics did a great job but send your car early in the morning though cause you know how our cars are. well the price was 380 and that was the best price on the island, everyone was charging about 500, 600 and some were 700 and get the car tomorrow.
