Exclamation How loud is your exhaust???

How is the interior resonance of your exhaust? Do you 'TRULY" hear the exhaust on the inside of your car? Is it heard at idle or just crusing at 50-70 mph inside the car? I want to still maintain my vault like silence INSIDE my SC under "NORMAL" driving.

However, at wide opened throttle I want some sweeeeeeeeeet mellow music!

Hella how are your N1's insde the car? MadMax, Double whoosh" Wiz, VQT(did you remove just your cats), 93SC35spd, Scott, etc What is your take on the interior noise? I had some cheaper "hi-flow" muffs on the SC at first the sound was "ok" but they resonated insde the car to much. So I put the stock muffs back on.

I'm getting some Dynomax Ultra flows from "Banking"... I hope they are not to loud inside the SC. I'll let you guys know after I install them if I receive them soooooooooooon..

When I'm just cruising, from about 1600 to 2400 RPM I can hear the deep sound of the exhaust from inside the car. From inside the car, it's not too loud at all, just right in my opinion. at WOT the exhaust sounds meaner. it's only a little louder but has more of an aggressive growl. When starting up the car there is a deep 'wooom' sound. at idle the exhaust is a deeper.

<still trying to record the exhaust, doh!)

I'm considering some Ractive polished stainless steel mufflers. I found a good deal ($70 each) on some with 4" slanted tips. I've seen them on a few rice racers around town, but haven't heard them. Anybody have experience wth Ractive mufflers?

Hella, get with Computerwiz, he recorded his exhaust maybe you all can share notes.

***Wiz, you have dynomax right? What's the take on the sound at idle and cruising at 50-70? I heard it at WOT!!!

Bean, getting N1's huh? then the turbo kit!!! Then 3 speeding tickets...

Lexcoupe94, ractive muffs that I've heard sound really raspy errrrrrr ricey... But it could sound sweet on a car that is NOT a 4 banger...
