I can hear someone on the phone when it's at its worst, but I prefer not to talk on the cell phone while trying to shift and steer with both hands so it rarely happens unless I'm cruising down the freeway in 4th or 5th.
Some people just can't tolerate any resonance at all and this muffler is simply not a good choice for them.
I always thought the boxster's exhaust was equal to my Lexus, and I've accidentally redlined once or twice when the radio is up and the top is down because I could not hear the engine.
Che's headers and muffler sure do take care of that now!
I absolutely love overpassess and tunnels. I downshift and really punch it and the reverberation against the walls and cement above is wonderful. Makes driving around on the freeways in Houston a lot more fun.
And a side benefit is that you can set off car alarms in parking garages if you work at it a little (you have to do a lot of revving, so if you're trying to be nice you won't be doing it accidentally).
I think I'm going to tape a little mic onto the back of my bumper and record my exhaust sound onto my laptop and post it on my web site so everyone can hear it.
