Aero Turbine vs PV2 - with pics, sound soon.

[taylorRichie]

ETL - has sound for PV2

I will be getting sound of my Aero Turbine 2525XL soon.

First here is side by side comparison:


Both Side by Side, Aero is quite a bit longer.


PV2 - GUTS


Aero 2525XL - GUTS


PV2 Logo and shine


Aero 2525XL - Logo and shine


PV2 Welds


Aero 2525XL - welds

Side by side the Aero looks much more refined, way shinier, but the 2525XL is quite a bit bigger.

I went with the XL because I didn't want to be TOO loud, and the built in Resonator isn't power robbing, it's noise canceling.

Aero Turbine is a local company I went and met with them, and even showed them the PV2, they looked it over, didn't have anything bad to say, and just said, huh... that's pretty neat. I said, what could they have possibly patented on this... They replied, I have no idea.

They did say it looked like their muffler (pv2) isn't much different than a standard glass pack, and they figured it wouldn't last that long (the packing) Because there's not some kind of a something that That protects the pack like their mufflers do. (got me on that one)

---

I'm selling my PV2 to someone here on the forums, which is why I went with the Aero, and I'm very happy with how it sounds... It sounds incredible, nice low growl, no raspiness, etc.

One thing I was disappointed with was because of its length a "Y" wouldn't fit after it so i could have dual tailpipes, that's ok though. I don't have a nice tailpipe yet (just the factory) as I haven't decided on what tips I want (since I won't be going dual).

Anyway if anyone was interested in Build qualities, and image comparison of the this should provide some insight.

Thanks Little Beast for turning me on to Aero, Bonus they were local, and extremely nice!!

Also get a peek at my LED tail lights

Video taken on a point and shoot canon camera, using video setting.

Also video was compressed for web, but audio is still pretty good.

Greetings!
Thanks for the write up! Looks like you got a quality product. I could not get the clip to play
Anyone else have luck, or is it just my hampster powered 'puter?
And thanks again for the PV2, you are one class act!
Best,

Dude that sounds great! I could not see the video but the audio came through pretty good. Sounds much like my PV1 but the Aero sounds a little better definitely. My PV1 has an annoying whine at 30-40mph and sounds WAY too loud with full throttle. Any chance you can get an audio sample of a wide open throttle? Maybe at a place your neighbors won't mind? Here in Houston my neighbors really don't seem to care, they are either used to the loud muffler by now or just glad that it is not something else (loud system, gunfire, etc). Really though that is a nice looking muffler man, really good build quality, and I like the audio clips so far. Hmmmm.....

Hey Snow, The videos are quicktime MOV... So you'll need this:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Latest version should also take care of you Beast.

Snow, you're welcome, and thanks for the kind words

If people continue to have trouble viewing them I'll export them as avi's But avi's can be even more crazy, million different codecs, Hopefully the built in For web AVI will work fine.

Not doing wmv though

Also I'm going to be out basically all day today, my brother is getting married, so I may not get a clip until tomorrow, tomorrow's a better day anyway, Sunday in Utah the town is pretty much shut down, and there's no traffic, so I'll do some drive bys

Both vids & audio came through fine for me...sounds GREAT!
