No cat back with stock cat is surprisingly quiet....

I just took off the stock cat-back exhaust in preparation for the Racing Beat system that will be here tomorrow, and I just started the car and listened to it and was VERY surprised at how quiet it was!

I realize I was just sitting the drive and idling, yet even gassing it and letting off it was really, really quiet. A lot quieter than some of the Hondas with fart cans that roam around here. I hope the RB system kind of ADDS to the sound signature.....

It will when you go full throttle, and/or the secondary turbo comes online. Anything other than that, the RB dual keeps volume levels down, which is very nice.

The RB dual tip sounds very nice. I love mine. Much better than the super loud HKS Hi-Power I was using before.

Agreed, best purchase I ever made having seen many other exhausts since about 99 when I got it.

I just love the stock look. The big single tips just aren't my style.

No, I have the Pettit stainless dp, but the main cat IS stock. I'd like to get a high flow main cat like an N-tech someday.
I was just surprised at how relatively quiet the car was with no muffler. But then again, I think back to other turbo cars I've worked on and it is the same thing....they are not NEAR as loud as a non-turbo vehicle when they are "uncorked".
