I have tanabe with PPE headers if you want to check out the videos. It's in the exhaust forums. On my phone so Im too lazy to paste it in. It's "LTH with HFC + CBE = ?" I have some dyno vids and driving as well. It is loud on throttle... very loud, but quiet while cruising. It doesn't sound like the tanabe videos.
