The tips aren't the problem, it's the straight pipes he installed in place of the resonator. From hearing his own videos, he'd be better of putting the stock resonator back in and staying w/ his ebay mufflers.

He claims NYC, but he has Pennsylvania plates.

Didn't hear it too well - I'm guessing he was going maybe 2,000 RPM at maybe 25mph? It certainly was noticeable even at such low revs and low speeds. I can only imagine how loud it is at WOT.
