Louder... But keep in mind, it received the very first muffler prototype. Subsequent versions, like the one on my car, were much quieter. So I'd wait till we do the video's on my car with the full exhaust to get an idea of the noise levels.

Why did they go catted for the front pipe for the stage 2 test ?
Because a totally non-catted car would be "off road use only". The turbo kit removes the cat in the exhaust manifold already, totally removing that secondary would have the car catless. While it would help performance, we are still aimed at daily driver kits.

Do you have any idea how much Avo will ask for the front pipe ? 300-350$
Still working on those prices. There's not much performance loss with the high-flow metal cat because we use a large (5 inch) cat, which minimizes back pressure (a lot). Unfortunately, those are more expensive than the 3" cats.
