I`ve had 2 L98 C4s with aftermarket exhaust. First one came with a
chambered exhaust of unknown origin and sounded awesome. Deep smooth
rumble at idle and not too loud at full throttle. Second one was
stock so I put on a pair of Flowmaster "American Thunder" mufflers
(not the whole cat-back unit). It didn`t sound as nice at idle and
was obnoxiously loud at full throttle. At cruising speed it resonated
so loudly that parts of the interior would rattle. It was cheap,
though.
I`d really recommend hearing one in person before spending the cash
and installing it. The Flowmaster was a real disappointment.

Title: Futuristic Japanese Cars (2007 Motor Show)
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 12:12:14 +0000
Author: shayannie
At the Tokyo Motor Show last october 2007, they presented cool designs, high tech car parts, and bizarre concept cars .
One of the cars presented here is the Nissan’s “Pivo 2″ that is an electric car with a revolving cabin that can park the car sideways. Nissan “Pivo 2″ has a robotic agent that can read facial expressions. And what’s amazing hear is they can calm down the driver if they were feeling upset.
Another car presented here is Honda’s “Puyo.” It is a car covered with soft silicone to avoid harming the driver or pedestrians during a crash.
A new prototype for a new van was unveiled by Nissan which is called “NV-200.” On the other hand, Suzuki showed the electric “sharing coach” which contains two individual “Pixy” transportation units. More on: http://shayannie.wordpress.com/2009/09/26/futuristic-japanese-cars-2007-motor-show/
