Everyone has different tolerance levels when it comes to noise. So, the best option here would be to get a series of dB readings on stock(for a baseline) and modded exhaust. For example: I would like to know what the increase would be for a HFC+FI TDX+Intake system. Different variations using different products would also be good. Maybe a database could be created for us anal retentive people out there. 
Just thought I would give this a shot as noise is a deal breaker for me when it comes to mods. |
Right now, you have the 12" resonated version on order from me. I would recommend jumping to the 18" version to keep it as quiet as possible. I know that you already have another brand HFC but if you were coming to me with a clean slate, I would tell you only to go with just the CBE with the 18" resonator option. Leave the stock cats on the car and run a K&N drop in air filter. I feel that this combination will keep the noise level right where you want it and maximize your performance given the mods that will be on the car...
Thanks, Tony
