Default Meistershaft and headers

Hello I have seen many clips of the meistershaft exhaust and headers on the F with the electronic valve open but I was wondering about how loud it is when it's closed. I really like the sound of the meistershaft accompanied by headers but it obviously is pretty loud. Can anyone running this combo give me an idea of how loud it is with the electronic valve closed? I'm looking for an exhaust that can be loud when I want it to be but pretty tame when I need it to be. I'm hoping the meistershaft can offer that with the valve closed. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I had my valve on once since the installation, the day of install. Yeah it's much quieter but no stock my any mean. You will be happy with the valve closed when you don't want it full on loud. I don't care so mine is always open

Thanks for the response! That sounds perfect. I just live in a quiet community and don't want to be waking people up since I leave for work at 4:30. Plus there's times I just don't want a loud exhaust.
