I can give you a hint. LOUD!! Ask teamafx (Joe), he had that setup on his car for a while. It was insanely loud.

I love the way mine sounds, Ive got 3 1/4 to the apexi single catback which I believe is 3in, Its LOUD but its a good LOUD. If your buying it wouldnt you be able to hear it when you test drive it ?

since it has a MP on it, Yes it will be loud.
But with a Resonated MP or Hi flow cat the exhaust itself isnt too loud and has a nice tone.

i had duals with mp, sounded like a really big chainsaw on crack. sounds like a beast when you are going like less than 10mph in a parking lot or garage or close to buildings and definitely scares v8s and ricers away with a couple revs. WOT sounds awesome.

HOWEVER on the highway, you could be at 2-3k rpm and it drones like a mother. i used to have my dad start the car to warm up in the morning while i took a shower. i couldnt hear it, but i could FEEL it shaking the house. and this is all with it SILENCED. i think a slight exhaust leak and being ported and nonseq helped it to be louder... and i guess single is supposed to be louder?

im sure it will be quieter with resonated or hi flow...

Yea, WOT can be painful to people outside of the car or driving next to you with their window down

Sounds like..

I have DP, Pettit resonated MP and unbaffled N1. People say its very loud when driving next to me when @ WOT, enough to have a ticket issued. It has a very deep tone at normal driving and a bit droning at freeway speed at times. Foot off accelleration is somewhat cop friendly and idle is just deep love.
