It gets pretty loud if you give it some throttle in 6th gear in the 2-3k range. It's enough to rattle a few things and drown out the music. If you ease the throttle and coast, you can barely hear it. So casual acceleration hovering below 3.5k RPM can get quite loud if you give it up to 50% throttle. The exhaust sound gets quiet once you rev past 3k. Even at redline it's nowhere near as loud compared to the 2-3k range.
Now this is with the HFC and x-pipes with 12" resonators... which isn't a quiet solution. Hence, I'm waiting for x-pipes with 18" resonators.
