I run that catback on my car.....and it is freakin loud my mods are in my sig so. my car is not a daily driver so its ok but my car can can be heard from a long ways away if its quiet at least thats what people tell me. the loudness I love but the drone I get inside the car is not for the faint hearted. I still have this catback because it sounds so damn good at wot and scares the **** out of people.

A friend of mine had these. You can't really carry on a conversation cruising down the road.

I just installed mine last weekend. It was the easiest install I have ever done. Besides the time to safely lift and jack the car, the total time of install was about an hour. I had B&Bs on mine, but I went with the Borla straight pipes for a more aggressive sound. I dont have too many mods, except for air intake, and an x-pipe. To me it is not too loud except for around 1400-2500 rpm, you can really hear it scream inside the cabin and outside the car, but I still dont think it is as loud as my friends cobra with flowmasters. I dont notice too much of a difference at idle, but at wot it sounds really awesome. I plan to put some LG longtubes next month so I think the sound will be a little louder.
