Got the Vanguard installed today!

shaunt · 12-27-2009, 03:45 PM

Love that exhaust. No drone whatsoever yet it opens up at about 4k.

I need audio solutions guys! This stock system just isn't cutting it.

Scorpion · 12-27-2009, 07:59 PM

Congrats, nice color choice and sounds awesome.

shaunt · 12-28-2009, 06:32 PM

Gintani seemed a tad too loud for me. At idle this thing is almost identical to stock. I love how you can't hear too much of the exhaust from the cabin but from outside it opens up from 4k on. At WOT it really comes alive(but so does every other exhaust

) But I was considering eisenmann race, gintani, akrapovic, and others yet I found Vanguard being the best combination of daily comfort/practicality and intoxicating sound!

That is what I am going for, which is why I am leaning towards the Eisenmann Sport, but I think i'm going to ahve to hear/see this Vanguard in person.

How does the price point compare to Eisenmann? Also did you get x-pipes, HFC...?

Thanks dude. In terms of the vanguard, yes to both questions. This thing is a beast and for cheap too! It weighs ~40lbs less than stock and the finish on the titanium is noiiiiceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. If you guys want any more videos I'd love to make some(in cabin, fly by, etc.)
