LT noise levels
My car has an ECS kit plus meth but no LT's.
Part of the reason I did it was interior noise level. I have mild tinnitus that I keep very aware of not making worse.
When the top is down I have musician ear plugs I wear if I am on the freeway and anytime I'm in an environment over 85-90db I wear them. Even with NPP open it can get a bit loud in the cabin with the top on, but since I put in sound deadening its not bad.
I wanted LT's for 2 reasons, the overall sound plus moving the cats down stream probably greatly reduce underhood temps.
Has anyone even tested the DB level in the cabin with LT's and stock NPP? Everyone says it is crazy loud, but how loud it in the cabin itself with the top on/off?

I don't have a DB meter, but it is crazy loud. My previous car was a cammed C6Z with LT's and Corsa Sports. Sounded very good, but not crazy. Now running LT's, catted, and stock NPP and it is very loud!
