Not a fan of loud exhaust. If I wanted to have the performance that many exhaust systems have that also make it loud including to the car occupants, I would have electric cut offs. But to listen to the noise just at idle that was shown in the video daily (sorry, it sounded like a truck 
), not for me. Buit everyone to their own.

I'm not a fan of loud exhaust but I would like to have something that sounded a little throaty but not have a droning noise inside the cabin. I've looked at things like QTP exhaust cutouts but don't want to pull the trigger on something without hearing it in person or a good referral from someone who knows what I'm looking for and has it installed already.

There's a bunch of pansies in here lol.
I've seen a bunch of videos of Chris's car and it's not like it's straight piped.
These are toys to have fun with.

For those that like a quieter sound.
Do the exhaust bypass modification! It makes the car throaty at start up and pulling away from a stop but does NOT drone at all! It's just loud enough to here the car (I have a 03 vert, with the top down lots of wind noise) during normal driving, but has a decent roar when you get after it around 4 grand!
I can't recommend it enough!
