definitely louder. There's some drone on the highway when you're cruising at like 70-80mph. It's bearable for the 3 hour road trip from Illinois to Michigan to participate in gridlife.
Granted my back seats were down as my car was filled with a bunch of tools so that makes it louder than usual. I couldn't imagine if I had to do a 5-6 hour road trip though with the back seats down.
What's keeping your noise level down is your stock frontpipe; once you replace that thing, your noise will go up. that was the last piece I replaced when I was NA, and when I replaced it even with a catted and resonated version of the JDL over front pipe it was way louder.
I don't mind it though. I love the way my car sounds. The videos don't really articulate the exhaust note as the mic is in the engine bay close to the turbo. So the exhaust really has a deep tone. I should probably create a video for that so people car hear what it really sounds like.
