It's a great sounding catback. Strangers like it. My neighbors don't hate me in the morning either. :p

Try out a db meter (or a phone app) to see how loud your current setup is inside. On a below freezing morning, I peaked at 88db while sitting inside with the windows up & a 1.5K idle.
That's what I want to hear. I'm no stranger to road noise, I drive a lifted Jeep with large tires, but my current exhaust setup on the BRZ doesn't allow me to even hear my own thoughts, even the radio doesn't help with the drone.

Literally just went outside and tested the db rating on my phone, 44° and I peaked at 80db. That's pretty loud for being 12 degrees above freezing!
