I would say that 18" resonated FI is not that loud. It is a tad louder then the Stillen, but really not that bad.
I was not looking for a loud exhaust and I am pretty happy with the final sound.
I wonder if most of those YouTube videos are taken in the first week of ownership, because it quiets down a lot after a few weeks.
When I first got mine, I was rather unhappy, as it was super loud. I was even considering selling it. But after 2-3 weeks of break in, I would not give it up for any other exhaust. It is quite under normal driving conditions (you can still hear a nice low rumble). It does not interfere with conversation. But when I put my foot down to pass, they know they are being passed.
The best judge is my wife. She used to put her hands on her ears for the cold starts before the break in. Now she says that it is fine.
