Thanks for the reply. I don't mind loud as long as it's not ear splitting or headache inducing. When I did the muffler delete, the 4-5k range was so loud it hurt and you couldn't hear yourself think. I can't imagine the fi setup is louder than a muffler delete, and the 2-3k range with the delete was deep but nice. Keep me posted in your feelings for the exhaust. I'm in no hurry as I want to get the right thing for me. If your trip takes you near Chicago, stop by!
