I don't mind louder than stock with a nice sound but not much louder...I live in a quiet neighborhood also the closest track has sound restrictions on most days.
I got the car and the Perrin 2.5" resonated exhaust is...well...not quiet with opened up P&L pipes (with two cats) but somehow bearable. I am a kind of person who loves to hear exhaust sound on WOT, and loves to not hear much of it when driving around town, since my car is primarily used on the street. This set up has a decent amount of drone right around 2-4k RPMs, so it gets a bit annoying around town. I have to live with it some more. Will try to find time to record the sound with GoPro.

Please PM me if you live near NYC and have a pretty new Invidia Q300 that my shop (@PrimeMotoring) could borrow for a quick sound test. If you're selling it and it works for me, I'll buy it...or we come up with a reasonable reward for your trouble
