Nice sound. I'd imagine it's much louder in person though.

no. its not. you cannot hear the car running when you sit in the cabin.

To put it into perspective, the exhaust is about as loud as a racing beat. just a tad bit louder, but hardly noticeable.

like i said, sitting at idle, you cannot hear it inside the car. you can feel the drone of it, but it cannot be heard.


Also, it seems to be rubbing on a piece of metal in the rear. nothing that i car about to much.

Nice. That is really non-obnoxious. I am used to my motoria duals (unsilenced), that sound like satan piloting a C5A.

The exhaust is most likely rubbing on the trailing arm mount, my corksport is rubbing there, drives me nuts . . .
