Default TS exhaust too loud?

i'm thinking about picking up a top secret ti exhaust, and have researched that it is apparently pretty loud. I have the berk test pipe to pair with it, and I'm assuming that it will make it even louder?

Has anyone sat in an S with the TS? is it too loud for daily driving? Or on the freeway? I'm just afraid that I will lose my hearing after a month, as my car is a somewhat DD.

I thought the TS was a header back.

I heard its one of, if not the loudest exhaust.

yeah, the TS connects to the cat (or test pipe) to the headers. Im assuming some people modify their stock piping to directly connect the TS to the headers, since it is catless.

As for the sound, i havent been able to find any sound tests... although hearing it online and in person is a world of differences..

Its not headerback. It was my old TS exhaust that you are thinking about buying. get a silencer and drive it around. I thought it was too loud w/o it but it sounds AMAZING with a silencer. I would take TS exhaust over J's and T1R anyday and I mean it.

haha, it's your exhaust? I was looking into getting a silencer, and Ben mentioned the previous owner before him installed it incorrectly creating that pretty little hole there at the tip. lol

i'm assuming you used a screw-on silencer? Is it still possible to install one with that hole at the tip?

Also, will I be LOSING hp with the silencer installed? Or no gains as opposed to stock?

i still dont understand why you want to sell it. get yourself a set of 04+ OEM wheels and keep the exhaust
