The volume isn't a huge increase over the ft86. The only major difference so far is the cold start...as now it sounds like WWIII is going on behind my car (sorry neighbors). Under throttle it isn't bad at all, while I did notice going uphill near the center divider it was quite loud. I have only set off ~2 car alarms which could just be the rest of my exhaust setup.
As far as drone goes there is virtually none. but this will mainly vary on the rest of your exhaust setup. When I first got the ft86 header I was running the Apexi catback and it droned/rasped like madness, but now with the Perrin all is good again.
If you are choosing between catted and uncatted go uncatted the gains are incredible and a High flow cat doesn't do much anyway so might as well just save some money.
And thanks I like my color combo as well but my modding bug has it's eye set on some vinyl crap and a change of wheels...hopefully I don't do it though cause I want a turbo
