Smile Encore innovations exhaust

Im thinking about getting the stainless x pipe with high flow cats and keeping my stock exhaust for a little more sound without being to loud. If anyone has this setup can you let me know if you like it and can you notice a slight power gain. Thank you.

Yes, it is a great mod worth 15+HP, and not loud at all while cruising, no drone, sounds great under WOT, get it!

it won't be too loud, we have high-flow cat and resonaters on our system, some do not and it gets really loud.
