Initial Impressions: A Closer Look at the New HRE Wheels

As I took the new HRE wheels off their packaging, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. These custom center locks are not only visually stunning, but they also promise to bring a significant upgrade to the performance of my vehicle. The first thing that caught my eye was the branding on these wheels - it's no secret that HRE is one of the most recognizable logos in the industry, and for good reason. With their sleek design and premium materials, it's easy to see why they're a favorite among car enthusiasts.

My only minor complaint at this point is that HRE offers black center caps, but not as flashy as some of their other designs. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on those black center caps and pairing them with the red accents on these wheels. When I put them on, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and ownership - they look amazing, and I can already imagine how they'll complement the overall aesthetic of my car.

Getting Under the Skin: A First Look at the Engine Sound

One of the features that really stood out to me when I first started driving was the sound of the engine. At first glance, it didn't seem like there would be much of a difference - after all, HRE had assured me that the new wheels wouldn't produce any unusual drone or noise. But as I began to explore the limits of my vehicle's performance, I quickly discovered that this wasn't just a case of "business as usual." The sound of the engine was surprisingly rich and nuanced, with a subtle raspy quality that added depth and complexity to its mid-range.

I was particularly impressed by how well the new wheels seemed to muffle the drone that can be present in some exhaust systems. It's true that at high revs, you still get a bit of crackle and rasp - but this is far more subtle than I was expecting, and it doesn't detract from the overall driving experience in any way. In fact, the mid-range sound is noticeably smoother and more refined, with a certain "F1" quality that's hard to put into words.

Testing the Limits: A First Drive

One of the things that really caught my attention during the first drive was how responsive the car felt. It's clear that HRE has made some significant changes to the engine sound and performance of the vehicle, but it's also clear that they've done so without sacrificing any of the driving experience or handling.

As I started to push the car harder, I began to notice a real difference in terms of torque output - especially around 4,500 rpm. It feels like there's an extra gear waiting to be discovered, and the acceleration is genuinely exhilarating. Of course, it's worth noting that these are just my initial impressions, and I'll need to do some more testing before I can make any definitive conclusions.

But one thing is for sure: this car has got character. Whether you're cruising down the highway or carving up a twisty mountain road, there's no denying that this vehicle sounds and feels like a real driver's car. And with its unique combination of HRE wheels and carefully calibrated exhaust system, I have no doubt that it will be a standout on the road - especially when compared to its more pedestrian competitors.

Sound Clips: A Closer Look at the Engine Performance

As we wrap up this article, I want to leave you with some sound clips from my buddy Kevin's car. As you can hear, the engine sounds surprisingly good - especially in the mid-range. One thing that really stands out is how well the exhaust flaps seem to be behaving - they're almost entirely silent until you reach a certain speed and engagement point.

Of course, I've been told that these are not actually the new exhaust flaps - but rather just some fake ones to help test the sound of the engine. Either way, it's clear that HRE has made some real improvements to the performance and sound of this vehicle. Whether or not they're making a placebo effect on me with their dyno tests remains to be seen...

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en5 000 million degrees outside here and we're starting off today's video at the compound i want to let you guys know even though we're doing a portion of stuff in this video the super project and the giveaway chaser build which you guys can get under for a chance to win by 25. at lgmft.com are not being put on hold for me to tinker with the porsche it's just sunday we're not working on that stuff until the boys are back i just have some time i got back early from gridlife and i'm gonna put some parts on because i know that during the week i'm not gonna have time and i'm way too excited to delay the gratification anymore the phone awaits us my friend never fails every single time i go to do any exhaust work on the gt3 stupid me always lets it idle for like 30 minutes so then i gotta wait for it to cool down because this thing gets hot it's always so satisfying looking into the car and seeing all these little tiny things that are maybe just flimsy plastic pieces but knowing how much of a difference they probably play when it comes to aero and brake cooling and it's neat it's simple and honestly i don't have like a wind tunnel or anything to test any of this but i feel like if i had a 3d printer i could kind of copy a lot of this stuff and stick it on the underside of my evo as long as i got pretty flat under panel maybe shave a couple seconds off my daily commute to starbucks you know i can get this under panel so i can get this thing start cooling down forget if i mentioned this or not but it was pretty cool when i had this car at atlanta motorsports park and got to drive it because the first time i went there my car was actually too loud and i got black flag but they have one day a year at amp where they don't have a sound limit and that's fourth of july and guess who has it rented out for fourth of july both this year and next year drift hq baby we're doing another fourth of july drift event you gotta come there's gonna be a link in the description if you're a driver make sure you sign up it's gonna go fast and we also are capped to the amount of spectators now we're bringing in a bunch of bleachers to make sure everyone has a good view but there's not a ton of parking at the track so you're going to want to make sure you get a ticket because we will sell out i will say though it's not a beginner event so if you are signing up to drive just know that they are going to be reviewed and it's going to be pretty much advanced drivers only there'll be more information click the link vip you're going to want to do it you're going to get ride-alongs other special perks merch and i'll give a massive shout out to drift hq for sponsoring this video i never know if this is something that's going to end up on the title so i act as though you guys don't already know this but we're finally doing headers on the gt3 we got a package for the boys over at dundin and not only is this thing gonna sound better we're gonna make some more power too oh there are many pieces as you guys know if you've watched any of the porsche videos i've been a whiny little because i don't have my headers and i miss how my old car sounded so these although they're not identical as a last generation obviously if they were i could have just taken the ones off my last car uh i'd imagine it's going to sound very similar you can see the stock style the collector and all the runners are a bit shorter redundant actually spends a lot of time on the engineering side to make sure not only are the headers gonna sound good but they're gonna make a lot of power so we will see some gains with this we have the race cats you guys know i've also experimented with deleting the cats on these cars it gets way too loud too raspy but one unfortunate thing is these will not work with my jcr exhaust i really like this setup and i think as a mild first step it was great there were no headers on the market i think it looks sick i'm going to miss the titanium tips but we are going a little bit more wild on this one so right here is dundon's mini crack pipe we had one of the first crack pipe setups on the last car and what it is it's literally an inconel megaphone that makes a car sound like an rsr so they developed a mini system that's not as aggressive as the one that i had on the last car so i'm excited to see what it's going to sound like i'm going to miss the old setup it was tame but i know this is going to make the car quite a bit more exciting to build as a reminder we'll have some exhaust clips in this video of comparisons of everything but this was the unsilenced race pipe from jcr they also make the turbo s system that i had on my last car that i think is the best-selling turbo s system both companies are great people i just want headers and now we got headers i'm looking at this little lip here is kind of cool it didn't have this bevel on the last setup i had as always you can see they're welds gangster and thankfully since i already have the stock muffler off it's gonna be really easy we're gonna pull the bumper off we don't pull the wheels off and these headers are like the easiest headers in the world forgot about that part well that's the easiest exhaust uninstall ever yo so usually there's like two hours of work to get the stock exhaust off you have to take the whole like rear assembly apart i think that was about 18 seconds super super pro tip all right because even dunden's instruction says that you have to pull the whole rear bumper off and it's the scariest thing it's intimidating if even if you're a gt3 owner and you're a badass like me taking off the whole bumper setup so the trick was when i had to get the stock system out i undid this header uh to a certain extent and that allowed enough wiggle room to get the stock exhaust off one side i was able to fish it out without removing the bumper which sounds ghetto and like there'd be more risk of messing stuff up and like yeah sure maybe you nicked the heat shield a little bit but to me it's way riskier pulling off the rear bumper and worrying about some bozo kicking it over while he's working on his nsx in the corner taking the bumper off even if the instructions tell you i love how well this thing colored i always try to come up with little sayings to remember like where things go so if you look over here we've got 202 sensors you've got the one that's pre cat post cat so my saying that i'll use to remember this one we've got black in the back and blue in the front we won't forget that it is so easy to access these headers it's like a joke compared to any other car now you guys can get a little bit better look at the difference in kind of how long the runners are compared to stock quite a big difference also the merge a lot prettier than that little bulgy boy it's pretty cool that it uses another oem part it's like an oem muffler bracket i'm guessing from oh yeah right here 991. so it uses a previous generation muffler bracket probably how they keep stuff modular that's pretty cool and this is going to be a pain there's like a spacer that goes in here somehow oh i don't know how this works so we're pretty much putting everything on loose first there's a lot of alignment that goes on with these systems so we'll slap this girl get out of on i know a lot of you guys probably think it's kind of stupid why i document these installs the way that i do and like actually give tips because like you're probably like ah people's porsches they just bring their cars to dealers you'd be surprised i would say a solid 50 of the dudes i know gt3s are all like diy guys that like get stoked into the mufflers and headers on their own cars so uh i know there are people out there that watch these videos and it helps them and it makes me happy when i hear that someone didn't get their bumper messed up by some filmer with an nsx they left it on their car i don't know what like time you're talking about because this never happened no because i left my bumper on no it never happened in the multiverse i've definitely been that guy that's done a full header install actually do you remember it was on the r6 that thing sucks not the car there's the the install of the downpipe yeah i've forgotten these before and it's not fun oh i think it was on a super i did this too so if you just check if you're ever doing something with a v-band and it doesn't have a well some events don't have those gaskets so i guess that's a bad thing to say yeah if there's a slot for it make sure it's in there fill your slots kids i mean i know everything's still loose right now but everything's lined up so good that i've had very little maneuvering or anything that i've needed to do yo this uh the install exhaust part easy routing o2 wires and muffler valves and everything is just being annoying tonight could be the fact that i'm only on two hours of sleep there's something that i wasn't supposed to do with this maybe i wasn't supposed to let it turn when i take it out something that makes it mad let me let me read the instructions on this part you ever just think about food yeah mountain milk bro not helping the cause that's the reward when we're done i wish i had gloves because it's crazy to keep putting fingerprints all the stuff i'm gonna wipe it out real good i put like a little cinema soft filter on this lens it makes everything look so nice i thought you were going to see put a little cinnamon bun in the microwave i got so excited to my i got kettle corn i can put in the microwave dude i would demolish being a kettlebell okay last bolt pipe it sucks there's so much adjustability but there kind of needs to be just because so much stuff gets hot and flexes like that's what you can see the header is kind of a cool design with little springs and stuff it's just lining everything up and getting everything tight it's a process now super important i should have been wearing gloves all the time but we couldn't find any uh so you gotta wipe it down break clean alcohol something to eat all your fingerprints or grease off otherwise this pretty exhaust is gonna look like a dalmatian after it gets heated so you can see this one like i wipe this exhaust down pretty thoroughly and still like you can see like there's a few little fingerprints and stuff in there it's just i mean you could not do it if you want that would be dumb i'm hungry unfortunately although i aspire to this video complete tonight and make exhaust clips for you guys it is both too late at night to make noise and i've also found out that i need to recode the valves because the valves are at 180 degrees from where they're supposed to be so if i start it right now it's going to throw a code i'm going to limp mode but i'm still going to start it just to make sure we don't have any exhaust leaks even though i know i'm just going to put it right in the light mode kettle corn i don't hear any leaks it's wider than i would have thought yeah i think the other megaphone that i had was a louder megaphone cool i can put the under tray back on without having revved it yet this car's cold i think my biggest first impression is the tone is a lot deeper than the previous generation it's really hard to explain but it almost has more like a raspy idol than the other car i'm excited to hear what something went there just to be clear there won't be a check engine light it's not because of cats or anything since the car still does have caps uh it's just because of those stupid muffler valves sounds really cool it's very f1 really yeah we'll resume tomorrow once i can meet up with my buddy kevin who has the tool that we need to flash check engine light because i'm pretty sure it won't let me rev if i go drive it right now um so we'll get that sorted and then we got one more thing we gotta do this thing so believe it or not in these stack of boxes right here will be the first wheels i've ever put that are aftermarket on a gt3 when i owned my last generation gt3 rs i really wanted hre r101 lightweights wasn't able to get a set before i got rid of the car now today we're going to be unboxing the first aftermarket set of wheels we're going to put on the 992. and they are hres but i think you guys are going to be surprised by what they are now i'm also very stoked too because the boys over at hre got tires mounted these for me already so they're ready to go right on this is some next level for us here at lg mfg look at that dude dude this looks like some futuristic spaceship type right here dude so hre just released their crbn carbon line and i got a sneak peek of these before they were released to the public over at the smokies event and they had one of these on display it was this whole thing i need to sign the nda and stuff and i got to see some of the very first barrels they have them in gloss carbon and they have them in dry carbon and what i think the coolest thing about them is not only is the weave like beautifully perfect there's no seam so a lot of carbon wheels that i've seen they have a seam and it kind of looks ugly and almost like fake carbon this is legit and the way that they do it is some next level so this looks ridiculous these wheels are sick but i'm going to be honest with you guys these are not actually my wheels so i ordered a set of the r101 lightweights actually in the same finish this is frozen dark clear and it's cool it's got like almost like a tumbled kind of looks like raw titanium finish it's just different it looks really high-end but i got the r101 lightweight monoblocks which are extremely light these wheels are so much lighter than stock but this is more of a like few i have the most expensive badass wheels in the world where the r101 lightweights are more like a track wheel so these wheels just came out and while my r11 lightweights are being built they were cool enough to send them to let me mount them to the car drive around on them and i feel like if i had time you know i could go to local cars and coffee and flex on all the other people that don't have carbon wheels but we don't really have time for that so i'm gonna drive around in the compound maybe go get dinner with colette and enjoy my fancy little carbon wheels it is cool looking at these wheels how they're modular and they can use the same faces that they use on their other three-piece wheels with these barrels so there is a lot of options all the like holes for the lightweight and obviously these ones are center lock but you can't see the hardware or anything did i mention these wheels start at over 6 000 each do you wonder why i asked them to mount the tires for me i don't want to risk that especially instead of wheels that aren't technically mine but i'm starting to see what they're gonna look like on the car and although i honestly wouldn't be stoked that it came on ps4s's instead of cup twos it's actually convenient since there's a bunch of rain tonight and i'm trying to go drive this thing the dealership so i can go get the codes flash so i could hear my new exhaust with my carbon wheels carbon brakes flex on everybody i don't feel like washing the whole car right now so i'm hitting these with some griot's cleaner uh it's really important if you're using any sort of tire shine or whatever to properly clean the wheels usually i begin there with a scrub brush and stuff but these are pretty clean to start that way whatever tire shine you use has like a better surface to bite onto even though they're brand new tires you see how much gross stuff there is in them satin always satin never shine not a big shine guy but i like even still with this i don't even spray directly on the tire i swear in a rag and just rub it in carbon fiber wheels you think of these puppies that's in the budget no it's not that's the reaction i want oh wait that's the reaction i wanted you on six grand a pop a wheel a wheel what yeah these are my new wheels for them they're almost as much in the box clicks yeah they're almost as much as new in the box blitz oh threes you get a good point you're on they still make those no oh the whole thing is holy sh and paint markers ready these are quite a bit lighter than stock just connect this barrel right on the way in oh it's gonna be here it's in this car not on black wheels it's gonna look futuristic it's sick hmm now this is pretty cool they come with their own caps for the center locks smart from a branding perspective hre does probably have one of the most like widely recognized logos it's like yup they got the best it's really good so my only my only thing right now that that's just irking me a little bit they make black hre center caps and i gotta get the black center caps i put these ones on and then just like i'm super angled by color where the the black looks a little bit more subtle than the flashy hre caps we'll get some black other than that yeah i was told that the car is not going to rev but we'll know for sure because usually when i'm rolling the car will let you rap so let's see it sounds pretty cool it's like from in the car yeah it doesn't sound like the last generation no it sounds much better you think it sounds better yeah the last car sounded pretty good can you remember for me just a little bit sure so the trick is you just got to be kind of like slowly rolling forward and then you can rub it yo it's got some girth to it i feel like it's got more worm than it did before before it was like kind of like smooth and then up top it got real raspy but now like the mid-range has some to it it's really good it's got that f1 kind of sound to it now i dig it i'm stoked it was a fun video getting a mess of this thing a little bit uh i'm actually gonna probably end this video with some sound clips we are going to my buddy kevin i'm just gonna flash it so the exhaust muffler valves are happy and i'll do some pulls on the way thank you guys for watching i hope you enjoyed this one and i'll see you soon initial impressions are actually fantastic so first thing to know i was a little bit worried about having a lot of drone especially since the exhaust flaps are stuck open right now probably like 50 less drone than the old like crack pipe that i had because this is their mini crack pipe i would say you don't get any drone until you're up about 4 000 rpm which is when you're doing like 85.90 underneath that at like normal cruising speeds we can sell a conversation collette would you approve i approve this conversation approved before she didn't like driving the other gd3 because we couldn't have a conversation it sounds stupid but a lot of people i did not like it no but like we like if we go to dinner somewhere it's so drony that you can't really talk it's just on the long road trips like if you're going on like a two hour trip to not like say anything and just have a really loud it's kind of annoying but this is great but you know people out there that they've got girlfriends if they have a gt3 obviously or or boyfriends yep yeah true uh but anyway so it's important to be able to have a conversation also uh dundee told me i was going to not be able to rev the car revs so i've been able to do polls and it sounds sick we'll let you guys hear what it sounds like and make sure no police are you ready it's loud but it's not as loud as the old crack pipe was and i kind of love it because i was scared it was gonna be too loud for me i'm really happy i don't know if the new cats that they have reduced more noise or if it's just a smaller crack pipe not like reverberating as much but it has the crack pipe rasp without just being too loud i love that view i love that for me i want to look at a dyno to see if it's a placebo effect or not but it feels like there's a pretty significant gain of torque around like 4 500 rpm or so um but dino wise i would say probably like at least 50 foot pounds of torque like i noticed a lot of partial throttle zipping around zoom zoom you ready oh i'm stoked for the underpass too bad there's a bunch of traffic maybe we can get out ahead yeah it has the the uh the rsr like come down i don't know how to explain it like the decal you can hear it the best when a camera is recording from the front so we'll have to do some of those tomorrow it'll be in the same video for you guys but the way that it sounds from the front just sounds insane i don't know how to describe it let's go alright5 000 million degrees outside here and we're starting off today's video at the compound i want to let you guys know even though we're doing a portion of stuff in this video the super project and the giveaway chaser build

springs and stuff it's just lining everything up and getting everything tight it's a process now super important i should have been wearing gloves all the time but we couldn't find any uh so you gotta wipe it down break clean alcohol something to eat all your fingerprints or grease off otherwise this pretty exhaust is gonna look like a dalmatian after it gets heated so you can see this one like i wipe this exhaust down pretty thoroughly and still like you can see like there's a few little fingerprints and stuff in there it's just i mean you could not do it if you want that would be dumb i'm hungry unfortunately although i aspire to this video complete tonight and make exhaust clips for you guys it is both too late at night to make noise and i've also found out that i need to recode the valves because the valves are at 180 degrees from where they're supposed to be so if i start it right now it's going to throw a code i'm going to limp mode but i'm still going to start it just to make sure we don't have any exhaust leaks even though i know i'm just going to put it right in the light mode kettle corn i don't hear any leaks it's wider than i would have thought yeah i think the other megaphone that i had was a louder megaphone cool i can put the under tray back on without having revved it yet this car's cold i think my biggest first impression is the tone is a lot deeper than the previous generation it's really hard to explain but it almost has more like a raspy idol than the other car i'm excited to hear what something went there just to be clear there won't be a check engine light it's not because of cats or anything since the car still does have caps uh it's just because of those stupid muffler valves sounds really cool it's very f1 really yeah we'll resume tomorrow once i can meet up with my buddy kevin who has the tool that we need to flash check engine light because i'm pretty sure it won't let me rev if i go drive it right now um so we'll get that sorted and then we got one more thing we gotta do this thing so believe it or not in these stack of boxes right here will be the first wheels i've ever put that are aftermarket on a gt3 when i owned my last generation gt3 rs i really wanted hre r101 lightweights wasn't able to get a set before i got rid of the car now today we're going to be unboxing the first aftermarket set of wheels we're going to put on the 992. and they are hres but i think you guys are going to be surprised by what they are now i'm also very stoked too because the boys over at hre got tires mounted these for me already so they're ready to go right on this is some next level for us here at lg mfg look at that dude dude this looks like some futuristic spaceship type right here dude so hre just released their crbn carbon line and i got a sneak peek of these before they were released to the public over at the smokies event and they had one of these on display it was this whole thing i need to sign the nda and stuff and i got to see some of the very first barrels they have them in gloss carbon and they have them in dry carbon and what i think the coolest thing about them is not only is the weave like beautifully perfect there's no seam so a lot of carbon wheels that i've seen they have a seam and it kind of looks ugly and almost like fake carbon this is legit and the way that they do it is some next level so this looks ridiculous these wheels are sick but i'm going to be honest with you guys these are not actually my wheels so i ordered a set of the r101 lightweights actually in the same finish this is frozen dark clear and it's cool it's got like almost like a tumbled kind of looks like raw titanium finish it's just different it looks really high-end but i got the r101 lightweight monoblocks which are extremely light these wheels are so much lighter than stock but this is more of a like few i have the most expensive badass wheels in the world where the r101 lightweights are more like a track wheel so these wheels just came out and while my r11 lightweights are being built they were cool enough to send them to let me mount them to the car drive around on them and i feel like if i had time you know i could go to local cars and coffee and flex on all the other people that don't have carbon wheels but we don't really have time for that so i'm gonna drive around in the compound maybe go get dinner with colette and enjoy my fancy little carbon wheels it is cool looking at these wheels how they're modular and they can use the same faces that they use on their other three-piece wheels with these barrels so there is a lot of options all the like holes for the lightweight and obviously these ones are center lock but you can't see the hardware or anything did i mention these wheels start at over 6 000 each do you wonder why i asked them to mount the tires for me i don't want to risk that especially instead of wheels that aren't technically mine but i'm starting to see what they're gonna look like on the car and although i honestly wouldn't be stoked that it came on ps4s's instead of cup twos it's actually convenient since there's a bunch of rain tonight and i'm trying to go drive this thing the dealership so i can go get the codes flash so i could hear my new exhaust with my carbon wheels carbon brakes flex on everybody i don't feel like washing the whole car right now so i'm hitting these with some griot's cleaner uh it's really important if you're using any sort of tire shine or whatever to properly clean the wheels usually i begin there with a scrub brush and stuff but these are pretty clean to start that way whatever tire shine you use has like a better surface to bite onto even though they're brand new tires you see how much gross stuff there is in them satin always satin never shine not a big shine guy but i like even still with this i don't even spray directly on the tire i swear in a rag and just rub it in carbon fiber wheels you think of these puppies that's in the budget no it's not that's the reaction i want oh wait that's the reaction i wanted you on six grand a pop a wheel a wheel what yeah these are my new wheels for them they're almost as much in the box clicks yeah they're almost as much as new in the box blitz oh threes you get a good point you're on they still make those no oh the whole thing is holy sh and paint markers ready these are quite a bit lighter than stock just connect this barrel right on the way in oh it's gonna be here it's in this car not on black wheels it's gonna look futuristic it's sick hmm now this is pretty cool they come with their own caps for the center locks smart from a branding perspective hre does probably have one of the most like widely recognized logos it's like yup they got the best it's really good so my only my only thing right now that that's just irking me a little bit they make black hre center caps and i gotta get the black center caps i put these ones on and then just like i'm super angled by color where the the black looks a little bit more subtle than the flashy hre caps we'll get some black other than that yeah i was told that the car is not going to rev but we'll know for sure because usually when i'm rolling the car will let you rap so let's see it sounds pretty cool it's like from in the car yeah it doesn't sound like the last generation no it sounds much better you think it sounds better yeah the last car sounded pretty good can you remember for me just a little bit sure so the trick is you just got to be kind of like slowly rolling forward and then you can rub it yo it's got some girth to it i feel like it's got more worm than it did before before it was like kind of like smooth and then up top it got real raspy but now like the mid-range has some to it it's really good it's got that f1 kind of sound to it now i dig it i'm stoked it was a fun video getting a mess of this thing a little bit uh i'm actually gonna probably end this video with some sound clips we are going to my buddy kevin i'm just gonna flash it so the exhaust muffler valves are happy and i'll do some pulls on the way thank you guys for watching i hope you enjoyed this one and i'll see you soon initial impressions are actually fantastic so first thing to know i was a little bit worried about having a lot of drone especially since the exhaust flaps are stuck open right now probably like 50 less drone than the old like crack pipe that i had because this is their mini crack pipe i would say you don't get any drone until you're up about 4 000 rpm which is when you're doing like 85.90 underneath that at like normal cruising speeds we can sell a conversation collette would you approve i approve this conversation approved before she didn't like driving the other gd3 because we couldn't have a conversation it sounds stupid but a lot of people i did not like it no but like we like if we go to dinner somewhere it's so drony that you can't really talk it's just on the long road trips like if you're going on like a two hour trip to not like say anything and just have a really loud it's kind of annoying but this is great but you know people out there that they've got girlfriends if they have a gt3 obviously or or boyfriends yep yeah true uh but anyway so it's important to be able to have a conversation also uh dundee told me i was going to not be able to rev the car revs so i've been able to do polls and it sounds sick we'll let you guys hear what it sounds like and make sure no police are you ready it's loud but it's not as loud as the old crack pipe was and i kind of love it because i was scared it was gonna be too loud for me i'm really happy i don't know if the new cats that they have reduced more noise or if it's just a smaller crack pipe not like reverberating as much but it has the crack pipe rasp without just being too loud i love that view i love that for me i want to look at a dyno to see if it's a placebo effect or not but it feels like there's a pretty significant gain of torque around like 4 500 rpm or so um but dino wise i would say probably like at least 50 foot pounds of torque like i noticed a lot of partial throttle zipping around zoom zoom you ready oh i'm stoked for the underpass too bad there's a bunch of traffic maybe we can get out ahead yeah it has the the uh the rsr like come down i don't know how to explain it like the decal you can hear it the best when a camera is recording from the front so we'll have to do some of those tomorrow it'll be in the same video for you guys but the way that it sounds from the front just sounds insane i don't know how to describe it let's go alright\n"
