I would take the loudness of a exhaust over hearing myself think anyday.
I just dont want to be come a pig spotter and get pulled over all the time for bs.
As long as your not full throttle'n it around I think I should be ok by the sounds of it. Its not so much how loud your car is, its what your car is out here. I have R8's or Ferrari's SCREAM by my work sometimes that are probably 20 times louder than what my car would be. But the minute someone buts a fart can on a Honda.. someone is gettin pulled over
