The noise is overrated. I was running open o2 with a lot of port work done to the various exhaust components and the noise didn't really bother me. Went WOT past many cops without any trouble. I put a 3" cat-elim downpipe on the car right before I grenaded the tranny and it got louder on the inside, more noise transmitted into the cabin. It still wasn't what I'd consider overly loud. Turbos make great mufflers.

It's all in your point of view. (/obi-wan)
I put a short ram intake on my stock exhaust Honda Accord and scared myself the first time I drove it. I almost took the intake off because it was "too loud when I get on the gas". Now I've been driving around with an exhaust that hurts my ears when I go by walls and box trucks in boost, and I really don't think it's that loud. Maybe I've been to the track one too many times and my definition of loud is based on nitromethane big block v8's running open header that can make your ears bleed.
