Default Too Loud?

Doing a cam swap, head work CNC (dimpled) and Calloway Honker at the end of month to a 12 GS vert M6.

I already have Kooks LT headers, Hi flow Cats, Xpipe with NPP & tune.

I do live in a quiet sub-division and will have M2W switch. When done I'm hoping to have 525 rwhp?

My performance shop demonstrated with a 12 GS with the same mods except it was Catless. It was LOUD but M2W did a good job of calming it down. Curious what anyone thinks who has already been down this road.

I have a cam, catless, NPP. When closed I can drive comfortably in silence. Exterior noise is there when standing close to car, but quiet when I drive by.

The initial blast on cold start is enough to blow away a house lol. But once the mufflers close it's good.

Thanks, I was thinking I'd keep the garage door closed on those early morning startups to not wake the neighbors at 6am until pipes closed.

I'd rather error on the side of too loud than spend all that money and not get the cam I "really" wanted.

I work nights 6 months of the year. I go to the gym at 2-3am. I just start the car with the garage door closed and open it once the idle calms. No complaints from the elderly neighbors, and I have specifically asked.
