"Sound Level - Aggressive" and "Series - Competition" makes me think these will be a bit loud or have too much drone for some of us. It also makes me think they may have a quieter product in mind for future production. Worth looking over their website for descriptions of cat-backs on other vehicles...

I thought they were going back and making it louder. Guess that didn't happened.

We installed one a few weeks ago on a local customer's Stinger and needless to say he was a wee bit disappointed with the sound. (Of course, "sound" is completely subjective though). I haven't heard from him again but hopefully with the mufflers broken in a bit more, it will get a little louder. On the butt dyno it seemed about the same as the NGM Omega axleback that I have on my Stinger. Very little difference on that front to be honest.

The Omega its the one with a muffler right? Love the sound of Zeta and omega! You're all original exept the axle-back right?

In the car, Zeta and Omega are loud at low RPM?

I wanted another opinion. I like to have many opinion. [8]
I understand that, but you literally quote tagged the one person that had already given their opinion, me.

Yes, the Omega has mufflers, the Zeta is a muffler delete. I only have the axleback with NGM intakes. The customer had a K&N intake though, so performance-wise aside from Magnaflow catback vs NGM axleback they're basically identical setups.

Omega is extremely quiet. I've got the new version on my car that I've been testing out. It's a bit too quiet though, so we may either continue testing or ditch the project altogether and just do Zeta's. When I had the Zeta on my Stinger, it did have drone (to be expected) but after a week or two it wasn't difficult to adjust how I drove in terms of throttle and also get used to the extra sound. Also we added soundproofing to the trunk and that reduced it immensely.
