At 70 decibals, it is as quiet as a brand new lexus hybrid. He has managed to figure out what auto manufatures and speed shops have been wanting forever, a performance free flowing exhaust that gives up no power no loudness. It's not like lexus is tuning for maximum quietness NVH or efficiency or anything.

Please tell me where to buy this straight through muffler that is lexus quiet and gives optimal power, cops will never mess with my integra again. I have friends who can make extremely outragious claims too, it does not make it true. I am not even going to get into your false statements lmao!
And yes, most OEM exhaust systems are brilliantly engineered; hence why I suggested the OP get one.
Anyways, I have offered my experiences. Best of luck with your search OP.
