Too loud simply means that a driver doesn't like a loud exhaust note, doesn't crave any extra attention, doesn't need to fix something that isn't broken, etc. Some people like louder exhaust because they believe it's how a V8 sports car is supposed to sound, or they like the sound and/or extra attention, etc. As long as it's not obnoxious and rude, violating the basic public right for a person to have their eardrums not assaulted, I say to each their own. And the Harley riders blasting down my street at 2am with straight exhaust... that is some serious bullsh**

I went with Allen's chambered mufflers instead of just eliminators. I liked the tone better of the chambered mufflers and there is very little drone. Just a bit around 2k RPM, but it's barely noticeable. I made a little clip of it on my '92, all stock exhaust otherwise.
