yeah, you simply get desensitized to it, supposedly. At least that's what friends of mine who have loud exhausts tell me

I absolutely can't stand the sound of a loud exhaust.. so bloody annoying (and how are you supposed to listen to tunes with that damn thing making a loud monotonous hum?)

Well I can tell you one thing. If you run a 70mm it will get less loud as time goes one because you get MORE deaf the more you drive.

see i was thinking of just putting a test pipe in on the stock exhaust and just cutting the resonator out of that.

But this exhaust is SO much lighter than stock, and if putting 2 more resonators really quiets the exhaust down while killing the drone with the test pipe and still even be around stock HP, the exhaust is gonna save me some weight and its gonna have some Growl to it you know? ........and weld the stock tips on hahahahaha...
