Josh - Should I assume you snagged BigEasy's car? I hope so, as it's a nice one.

I live at the top of a ridge in my neighborhood (as much of a ridge as you can get in this flat part of SC, anyway) so I don't have the luxury of quietly coasting downhill to my home. Because of this, I try to avoid early morning and late night travels. Mine IS loud. Very loud. Then again, my pipes are practically open. I can use a small mirror and flashlight at the end of the pipe and see the four collector tubes at the other end. It is MUCH louder to others than it is to the driver/passenger.

Try this: drive along a bridge that's under construction, where they have the concrete barrier wall about 3 feet away from you on each side. The sound is awesome. Full throttle (which you should never do in a construction zone anyway) is painful... I mean is probably painful. THAT'S how loud your car is to other people.
