We installed a Solo Performance exhaust on a stock Soltice. The exhaust was really nice. Also new highflow cat as well. That part was a little tricky. You have to raise the motor to get the old (stock cat) out. Here is a few pictures, and a video.

And the video. This was the very first start up and we had nt heard the car yet (you might be able to tell from some of the reactions.

The tone should change once you get some miles on it.

well, the idle was high for awhile....its decent, I think it could use a resonator of sorts, but I'm no exhaust expert haha. Sweet ride though

this is why I dont take comments on here to heart. its like letting a blind person get to you when they make fashion comments.

boobs now with Riboflabin"
I will admit that it sounded like crap on that first start. It sounds much better now. Also keep in mind this is a exhaust with no mufflers, and high flow cat. It also has been dynoed to add 25 whp (not including the cat). It is a fun car to be in.

tone would change some , if it had mufflers , BUT THERE is NO muffler
sounds kinda like ass to me , almost as bad as the srt's with the side exit

Regardless if it has mufflers or not the tone will change, and it did. I think how it sounds now fits the car. Most important the owner likes it. I think the tips look great!!

Dual exhaust FTL. A single 3" pipe would sound so much better.

I don't like the sound. Resonators and mufflers FTW.
Hmm, I didnt know the hood flips up like that

as long as he is happy
but there is still nothing that should cause a change of tone , only change is gonna be a slight a/f change
as the piping warms up, the sound will change... just like with any exhuast. most exhaust's are raspy when cold but once it warms up, the raspiness goes away
personally, i don't think it sounds bad at all. another thing to keep in mind, camera's rarely pickup the true sound of an exhaust system...
then again though, i'm a sucker for the high pitched whistle of a turbo car...
that has nothing to do with the pipe being hot , its the muffler
what size turbo are they using on it?
