When idle 89db, when cruising 82db, hard acceleration 105db.

Thank you. Gives me something to think about. That may be too much for my neighbourhood.

Tbh it depends a lot on what rev range you use mostly. If you're a trundle bunny below 3k rpms kind of guy then this isn't for you as the bass tones can get boomy at times. Above that though it's a sweet sonata.

At a steady 80mph cruise you can quite happily have a normal conversation with the roof up for instance.

But if you're looking at aftermarket exhausts then be prepared from them to get louder. if that's not for you then stay stock.

Actually after some consideration and looking at this for perspective ...



it doesn't sound like it would be too loud at all.





Edit. Going to lay under the car now to measure some stuff...

So reading that mine is on the mild side then.

Just reading that there is no way that a stock exhaust is that loud, those things make no noise at all even when pushed.
