Default HKS Hiper Exhaust

I would like everyone's opinion on this exhaust.

1) Can you bear the sound of it at cruising speeds?
2) How loud is it ?

Anything you can add about it will help.

I don't find it loud at all until the revs are high.

Cruising is when it's most quiet.

While you're on the accelerator just cruising it's virtualy silent. Surrounding noises overtake the exhaust greatly. Once you let go of the gas or apply any throttle the exhaust comes to life. About 3K rpm is when it's most "boomy" but it still isn't that bad.

I chose this exhaust simply just for a great sound and didn't want anything loud at all. You will get noticed though But in a good way

Is this considered one of the more tame exhausts? Which exhausts are considered the most tame of what's available out there? Thanks.

Fairly tame I guess. Mugen is more tame. Stock is too tame.

Mugen sounds good. Any exhausts out there with similar sound/volume but doesn't cost as much?
