Well, it's all subjective. Three of my fellow FT86Vancouver buddies have the MXP RS because they liked the sound (one of them I traded MXP<->magnaflow). For me, I'm moving on to quieter things.
The MXP exhaust would rattle my entire house. If I was in the garage, it would rattle my neighbor's house too (Townhouse complex, so units are all attached).
Quite loud to the point I felt bad for the people that have to hear my cold start. I banned myself from leaving in the morning or coming home late at night due to the sound. I kept trying to convince myself that it was fine, until my neighbor sent me a letter quoting noise laws in my area.
I used a sound metering app on my samsung S5. The magnaflow would read around 84db on cold start, and drop to 78-80db on idle.
I would assume (just guessing, no actual measurement) that the MXP would be around 87-89db on cold start, and around 83-85db on idle. Again, just guesstimates.
