Does it get irritating? How loud is it on a scale from 1 - 10? Is it straight pipe loud? In combination with the FT86 Catted Header, does it sound quieter inside the cabin or does it sound worse (more drone)? I ask all this because I'm like on the verge of trading my cat back for one.
PS. I can tolerate loud and some drone, incase you say something like "everyone has different loudness/volume tolerances." lol
The Tomei type 80 in my opinion is the best exhaust on the market for the twins, beautiful sound, no drone, super lightweight (You will shred like i believe it was 30lbs or 25lbs from your car with that exhaust alone) loud probably a 7 out of 10 (without silencer, it comes with a silencer i just dislike the way it looks and never installed it) its not loud unless you drive like a manic or push the car past 4k RPM, Not straight pipe loud, just more loud then stock. Like i stated before, with the combination of the Tomei Type 80 and FT86 Catted UEL header their is no drone, it doesn't sound quieter in the cabin because you are opening up the exhaust so their will be more noise apparent. I used to run a cat back, it was a Injen SES it had a lot of drone and was heavy!!, After buying this exhaust Im never going back to a dual tip catback unless its an AMUSE Powerhouse one.
