Mine was pretty damn loud, but I guess you kinda get used to it after a while.

my friends run their DSM's open DP all the time, its not as loud as my car was with open dp with JRSC....you could hear it three miles away, my kamakaze header downpipe was too short, so i had to run it that way for a while....

Not that bad but sounds like a bubble machine when at a low idle.

As on DJ0820's freashly ghetto turboed CRX. but his outlet points down because of probe O2 sensor housing.

its kinda fun, people stare sometimes, sounds like a bus or truck comming. when i was all-motor open header was louder, alot. seems like turbo quiets it down, except for the back fires

I guess some peoples' idea of loud differ from others. IMO it's loud as hell. I barely made it by the 2 days I had to run open DP. SO lucky I didn't get pulled over (which I almost did).
