If it made me sick all the time, I would've ditched it a long time ago so no, it doesn't bother me. But then again, everyone's sensitivity to hearing is different. The Tomei exhausts also come with a removable silencer if you happen to find it too loud on a daily basis.

I'm in CA and I run a 60s & motiv catted FP/OP. If you keep the stock front pipe the 60s is not that bad at all in terms of loudness/drone silencer does a lot to keep the noise down too. But with my current setup I have to run the silencer for it to be cop friendly and it's still pretty loud imo. But I switch front a Greddy Sp to this all the time to keep it quiet if I need to.

Do you happen to have any interior and/or exterior sound clips? I've been debating on adding a front pipe.

Did a catless EVS front pipe and a catted motiv with this setup, it will be loud under load above 3k, sounds great though!

Any sound clips?

Im thinking of going with HKS that has the dual resonators to eliminate any possible drone from deleting the cat

so juz the drone level of the catback itself is minor?
