I think that 3 for the 18" is a bit low, I'd say more like 4 to 5. It is still plenty loud, especially on WOT.

But then again I have never heard the other two options in person. It is all relative I guess.

I wanted to have a good sound, but still be at or below 80 decibels (legal limit here). I think 18" was exactly what I was looking for, maybe even louder then I expected. I did not want to disrupt my immediate neighbourhood with too much noise. At any rate pedestrians still hear me if I rev (they did not with stock) and my family can still tell from two blocks away that I am coming home.

So feeling how I do about the level of noise from 18", I cannot even imagine how crazily loud the other two are.

I have a neighbour with a stock G35 across the street, which is louder then our stock exhaust. My 18" is way louder then her stock G35.
