T, I know you do a lot of driving, too, and that we're of the same... ahem.. vintage. After a long drive, especially w/ your catback, do you experience any sort of hearing exhaustion.. sort of audio-numbness or fuzziness? I really worry about that, I guess mostly because of my profession. I love driving with the windows down, feeling the air, but the darn windnoise is SO loud in my left ear that I can't take it very long. It's much worse than on my bike w/ a full helmet.

Just curious.. thanks for the reply.

My highway drives are always with window up. I spend 14 hours a week at about 75MPH so would not enjoy the window down at all since I agree that the wind noise is something to be experienced to be understood. I have zero issues with any of the noises with the windows up though and even the little bit of drone the TRD has I have just tuned out at this point.
