Icon3 Result of stock exhaust and NEW muffler?

I own a civic ek hatch and it has stock exhaust on it but the muffler has a hole in it. I was thinking of purchasing the buddy club pro spec muffler as a replacement. I was wondering if it would be extremely loud? I want something loud but not so loud that it would bring police attention to my car. I would like something just under the legal sound level and I know the normal buddy club exhausts are too loud to be legal. Please respond to this to help me figure this out. And if the buddy club muffler is to loud which should I get that would be loud but legal? Thanks for the help honda-tech! Please bump and help!

Listen to videos dude. Buddy club spec 2 is beyond loud some dont like it. I personally do. But i like the apexi ws2 style. Or go with a yonaka catback. Cheaper version of the ws2. Goodluck!

No I know what it sounds like but thats the full exhaust. I'm keeping my stock honda exhaust but I'd be getting the buddy club pro spec muffler. Thats the part I don't know the answer to. I want something as loud as legally possible and I know the full buddy club exhaust is illegal lol... So I was trying to figure out if the STOCK exhaust with the BUDDY CLUB muffler would be loud but legal. Thanks! :D

How many people do you think actually have a Db meter to determine legality?

And how are you keeping a "stock exhaust" if you plan on swapping the muffler with an aftermarket one?

Do this. Buy it and have a cop hit it with the DB meter. If he gives you a fix ticket then it's not legal. Seriously? You want a loud exhaust? Must be for the attention.
