okay...you have no idea how loud this can car be my friend. i drove my tc for about half a year with the supercharger, weapon-r header, and trd exhaust, and i thought it was loud and raspy and such.

then i got full custom made 3 inch exhaust, with just one straight through muffler, and it was biblically loud. it was so loud that at any throttle level, it sounded like i was piloting a jet fighter. at full throttle, it could deafen you.

i got a high flow cat and resonator added immediately, and it was made quieter, but still very loud. but how loud is it...well, last super bowl sunday, i was on my way home with nobody on the road. i was coasting to a red light, and it turned green before i had to stop. so with everybody watching the game inside, i floored the car in second gear. a few minutes later when i got home, everybody was in my house was laughing because they were expecting me. my brother who was outside on the back deck grillin could hear my car and went inside and told everybody i should be home soon.

when he told me that he heard me, i immediately went to google maps to see how far away i was when he heard me, and it was 2 miles away! and that is measuring as the bird flys, not 2 miles of road! and that was with fields, woods and several developments and neighborhoods between my house, and the intersection i floored it at.

sorry this was a long post, but trust me when i tell you that i am probably the loudest tc with "street legal" exhaust.

hey there Tina.... so how quite would you say your setup is now with being boosted and all? Say on a scale of 1-10 ... with 1 being total stock quite & 10 being loud enough to draw attention from the boys in blue...
Probably a 3-4. My car's pretty quiet, I love it.
wow... really... just a 3-4? and boosted... I'd really like to hear a clip of what that sounds like.
I'll try & get one at some point.

Well, it's also easier to match your revs, right? Can't really miss it at 7-8 out of 10.
