I have the original with the headers. It is indeed loud. I pulled into the parking lot of a sports bar over the summer and decided to park rear end first since my mountain bike was still on the rear-mounted willwood rack. A fat guy in Trans Am nearby took exception to the loudness of my exhaust as I was backing it in and started revving his engine and screaming at me "This is what a REAL car sounds like!!!". LOL. His car sounded pretty cool though.
You should hear this thing when I bolt out of toll booths. I light that place up.
Reminds me of watching a Le Mans street race in Miami. I scared a guy at gas station Sunday when I fired it up.
Drone is pretty bad though when the top is up on the highway during winter or rain.
I've gone as far as plugging my Bose headphones into my Droid phone which I plug into the stereo for my Amazon MP3s. When the RPMs hit 3K it gets really annoying after 5 minutes. But top down it's pretty amazing.
