It's my daily, so I needed it to be bearable. I've been through 4 different middle mufflers, and 2 different sizes of piping to get it right. From a 1-10 (10 being the loudest) I'd say its about a 6.5 or 7. It purrs very nicely while cruising, but you definitely know when you start to push it! It screams on WOT as you hear on the dyno video! :pimp:
With the 3", regardless of the center muffler used (Borla XR-1 or Accelerator), it was too loud. It sounded sick on WOT, but droned like hell on the highway.
When I switched to 2.5" the Big Accelerator muffler made the exhaust too quiet for my liking, so I switched to a straight through resonator, which was the loudest setup of all! Surprisingly if the windows were up there was no drone! It sounded super aggressive on anything over 1/2 throttle, but got me too much attention by the cops.
Next, I tried a Spintech in the middle, which was too quiet, and raspy for my taste. Finally I put the Borla in the middle and it's perfect! I'm huge on exhaust, it's my favorite characteristic of a car, so it has to sound good for me to enjoy the drive. ;)
I eventually want to get some euro headers > a nice X-pipe > dual 2" > dual resonators > Y-pipe > 3" > my Vibrant muffler!
The Vibrant is what gives my exhaust it's tone. I love it to death! Easily my favorite muffler on our motors! :D
