It's a fairly quiet exhaust, even while cruising and blipping the throttle, I can barely hear the exhaust in the cabin. Additionally, when I do blip the throttle, it seems that the noise goes out of the rear and not into the cabin, which is great for a daily driving! Even pairing this with the Tomei UEL Header that I have on my car, it's still really tame! It's so quiet that I just might add an aftermarket front pipe (resonated for sure) in the future to bring out the rumble--haha. Currently with my set up, Tomei UEL Header -> stock over pipe -> stock front pipe -> Top 1 Axle Back, there's a smooth and progressive rumble when accelerating and decelerating. Definitely not bad for a sub $400 axle back. Fitment is exactly what others have complained about, the right tip of the axle back seems to off centered about 2/5 of an inch. Overall, I'm quiet satisfied with the exhaust and I agree with .ck that this is a gentlemen's exhaust haha.

On a side note, has anyone paired this with an aftermarket front pipe, if so, how does it sound and is your front pipe resonated, catted, catless, or a combintion of one of the two?

Would love to hear sound clips of your setup. I've been looking to do the Tomei UEL with the axle-back only.
