Ashley pride themselves on making the loudest exhaust's on the market
get a stainless steel one instead like a Mongoose

i had the ashley full system with 4-2-1 manifold on my xr2
loved it, yes it was loud but what a sound, real raspy. only prob is that ther made from mild steel and arnt all that strong. saying that mine prob only broke because my axle was bolted to the chassis extremly low
