Default DC Sports Catback

I need feedback on DC Sports catback. My biggest concern is the noise level. How loud are these compared to an Apexi WS or stock rather?

I agree that it is mellow, but it will sound agressive at WOT. I love the sound of it. People know it's there but you'll stay out of unecessary trouble.

My only problem with it is that I just installed a WW rear skirt to my rear bumper and the exhaust tip sits about 3/4" back under the lip . I temporarily installed a piece of alluminum flashing between the tip and the bottm of the skirt to keep the paint from melting (Until I come up with something else.)

I love my DC catback system. I got it installed last week. It installed easily and it is situated nicely as far as the look from the back skirt is concerned (dead on, center and just enough space from the skirt). Love the sound, I was also concerned about the noise level before I got it. It is definetly not as loud as apexi, on the highway if you put the cruise on, you'll almost know no difference. It is deffinatelly mellow, it has a very low, warm sound. It is not raspy at all, maybe sometimes you can hear it for a fraction of a second. I love it, it is going to be definatelly louder than stock, when you drive with open windows you'll definatelly hear its bassyines... I haven't ridden in the car in the back seat since i got it installed, but why the hell should I care?

I also love my DC Sports Exhaust. When I first installed it though, it was too close to the heat shield and it would rattle at a 2200 rpm, approximatly. As far as the WW kit, I purchased new rubber hangers that dropped the exhaust about an inch in the rear because it was pushed against the WW kit, and would cause cracking if it stayed that way. GREAT sound at WOT.
