I'll chime in since I've an original PV series 1 on for, jeez, almost 2 years maybe? Anyway, I was thinking about the sound this morning when I started the VX, let it warm up for a minute or two, then started driving. I wish I had a way to record the sound for everyone because mine in no way sounds ricey... not at all.

There is a young, scrawny, blue haired punk down the street on the side of my house, who drives a '93 or so Civic, unpainted body panels, ricey exhaust. He could go 5 miles an hour in 1st gear, and the thing sounds like it's about to explode. THAT thing is rice.

Anyway, back to the PV sound. I was listening this morning, and seriously... compared to the 5zigen, Greddy, Apexi, and many other import exhausts out there, this thing sounds meaty. I don't have the PV 2 with the wheezinator (or without), but I can tell you mine sounds like it fits the VX comparably. It is truck sounding, somewhat deep, throaty sound... especially good for the size of the truck.
