1) The link doesn't work

2) How the hell are we supposed to tell from a movie clip?

3) You have a glasspack, so it's most likely too loud.

It sounds like a car running open header.

That video made me laugh so hard I was crying. You don't need to drive like a stunna when you're on backroads. Keep both hands on the wheel, and get rid of the gangsta lean.

sounds like you could have downshifted a few times to go faster... use 2 hands too, if your 1 hand slipped you'd hate yourself... dale jr. doesnt even drive 1 handed...

my exhaust is obnoxsiously loud and i have tried to fix it.. im running a DC 4/1 2.5' header to straight exhuast with a magna flow dual tip (straight not the stupid VW style muffler) muffler, i figured the 2 chambers would help quiet it down. So I say this.. I nkow my exhaust is loud.. and im not goign to ask if its loud.. seriously if oyu have to ask if its too loud then it problay is .. Also to loud for what? ther really isnt a to loud unless your talking law wise heeh

Well I don't want it to sound like a car running open header or like if I had an APEXi N1 exhaust with straight pipe all the way up to the header....that's my definition of loud.....I like an exhaust that performs good and that you can partially hear the exhaust at low RPM's and than the Engine takes over sound on the Higher RPM's...

I fiogured you would have with you exhaust set up, just thought I'd throe it out there. I'm not sure of any other ways to increase engine noise.

I mean the sound right now isn't that bad everyone here tells me it sounds good not like all straight pipe....but since there is still alot of stock components i.e. stock catylic converter & resonator....i wanted to upgrade to 2.5in piping,race cat,no resonator, and twinloop muffler...

If you are going to get a twin loop, you already knew your exhaust was too loud...
