From what I hear, expect earplugs. MANY people have commented that it is too loud, BUT, you might like it...

(Which is why I am modding my stock Ti with eyes on long tubes in the future.)

Enjoy

I'm getting a H/C swap with LG streets right now. I already have borla stingers on the car and I opted for the catted X with the streets. I'm young and like it loud and obnoxious but not to the point where the resonance is going to give me a headache. Given my cam will make it even louder, even though you're pretty much stock with no cats those Borla straights are gonna be brutal. Somebody should have that setup though and offer some info.

BTW I see your an EE for Boeing, I'm also an EE in Jersey any jobs over there?

This is a video of my car when it had that setup. Long tubes, no cats and straight pipes. It's radically loud. The video doesn't do justice to how amazingly loud it is. Like, LOUD.

Ya, a bit. That car was so loud you could hear it from space. I got sick of getting pulled over, so I put mufflers on it.

LG longtubes, catted x pipe and Borla stingers....I can't play without waking the dead and challenging half the Police force to find me. In fact, if you listen closely you can hear my car idleing during the last Nascar race.
