the SP systems are pretty quiet. did you just install a new one? it'll get just a little bit louder after a while, but not too much.

my frined had it on his integra for about 1 year and 3 months and he chopped off the muffler gave it to me and did a whole custom set up with hsi muffler. it was pretty loud on his car, heard frmo 2 blocks away on his integra. maybe because he took off the resonator.......i dunno

I would say that any Greddy exhuast wont be very loud I read in a magazine that they manufacture them to meet california standards for noise pollution. theyre not supposed to exceed 75 decibals or something. anyone ive heard isnt loud even on turbo cars if you want something you can hear go with 5zigen or tanabe people will definately know your coming then

The Evo is pretty loud (I've got one), although its deep. Its not obnoxious but its certainly not quiet.

I doubt it. You'll have noise coming from the intake too though but it shouldn't make the exhaust louder.

sp2 has good sound deadening material, and a large resonator, so its under the 95dBl levels for cali....but straight though mufflers will always have a loud, distinctive tone

your exhaust will always get louder, as SOME of the sound deadening material will burn off....the more quality the product, the less will burn off

It needs to warm up. Just like a singer. You were running it from a cold start i'm assuming. Mmmm vocal pipes of machinery.

actually, for anyone that plays a brass instrument (trumpet, trombone, etc), you know that metal will vibrate more when the temp is higher...why??...because when the metal is warmer, the molecules have more kinetic energy to start with, and thus they will vibrate more when sound energy is applied....this is a problem when anytime you play your instrument in the cold, ie, on a cold morning
