when someone says there exhaust is "quiet" how quiet lets someone say it's quiet. i guess if i indulge in a new performance exhaust i'm looking for the appearance along with performance....but i am looking for some noise....what noise i'm looking for....who the hell knows.

this is almost completely impossible to talk about on the internet,
When I say mine is quiet, what I really mean is that It is too quiet for my taste... Of course i'm not just going to say "Oh yea.. i spent all that money and it still sounds like blah..."
But mine is definatly louder than stock

It's not like we have ratings to go off of... You can use Decibles.. but most magazines don't publish decibles so it's a hard concept to grasp, plus, you can have a loud exhaust that still completely sounds like crap.

The only real thing you can do is follow honda civic's w/ exhaust around, and ask them whats on it..

but for general referance,
the wider the pipe the louder it will be.
and a free-flow muffler is louder than a restrictive one.
