It's still loud but not that below 3k piercing drone that shakes your ear drums loose.
thanks! i'd like to meet someone that has it so i can hear it in person before i make my final decision, but i'm leaning away from these for now. I'm already going deaf as it is...lol

lol I'm sure I'm making more of it than it is, but from the videos I've checked out on youtube it's pretty loud...

EDIT: BTW, anyone on here have a video on youtube? i've seen quite a few RPI and SS exhaust vids, as well as driving and some others...

And thats the important thing
I think the best sexual healing is when u pull the trigger in a tunnel. I'm sure all owners of an RPI exhaust will tell u that. It really blows ur mind. SSOO LLOOUUDD

^might i suggest adjusting the rear bumper cover to better align how far ur left muffler extends. crfine88 wrote up on some free play in the 4 bolts tt hold the rear bumper cover to the rear diffuser, 8mm hex. loosen the left two and pull the bottom of the rear bumper cover outwards on the left side. will look a lot more symmetric.
