Talking about loud...

My last 7 was loud and most other 7's I have seen and the like are loud. My new SE is pretty quiet. A low purr. I mean it's still kind of loud, say in the parking garage of my office, but it's just resinance. Hmmm.... I have no muffler but the stock silencers and cat. Wtf? Normal?

RX-7's aren't necessarily loud. The owners MAKE them loud. The key work here is that you still have your cat, and it's likely not gutted.

Yeah, its normal when you still have a cat attached. The getting rid of the cat is what makes it so loud.
