It is loud.
It is perfect if you are into loud exhaust. It sound awesome on the track though. But daily driving...you will need ear plugs.

I have had mine on now for about a year, its very very loud. i dont mind it but most chicas hate it!!! so if your a ladies man you may want to get something else. Also if you do lots of late night driving it does attract the police. other than that it looks great and it recieves tons of attention. my only real complaint is all the rattling that occurs both within the cabin and under the car. however this is generally at low speeds and goes away once at highway speeds. The rattle from under the car is only between 3-4k rpm's which could prob. be attributed to a heat sheid or something. good luck bro

it is pretty loud, but it sounds really good. the loudness comes from the pretty small resonator which will cause a deep drone from 3-5000rpm. The sound is very deep. Not quite V8 rumble, but comparable to the pitch many V6s will make. After VTEC, it sounds more like an exotic racecar...very very awesome.

many installed the stock resonator in it's place and say it kills the drone and makes the exhaust "perfect".

I love mine. Without silencers it is too much for me, but with them it is a little loud, but just fine for me. I'm 29, btw. I don't think it is "obnoxious loud" with the silencers at all. In fact, older guys say the love the sound. I've never gotten a negative comment. Do the silencers hurt power? I don't know, but I'll bet it still beats the stock 3pass mufflers. Regardless, you save A TON of weight. The Invidia felt like 30lbs or less. The stock system felt more like 70-100.

Girls will definitely find it too loud, though. That is, unless you are the perfect girl for me.

I like the way the Invidia sounds. I will be adding a test pipe to it within the next couple of weeks. BTW...my girl doesnt mind the sound.

Does anyone have pics and\or a sound clip of the invidia with a stock resonator installed? I am thinking of selling mine and buying the fujitsubo legalis R just to have a cleaner sounding every-day-driver exhaust. Do the silencers make a dramatic difference in loudness?

I love everything about it except the droning at 3-5k. That does get annoying at times. Otherwise it's perfect.

I would like to hear one with the stock resonator in tho.

i had it, sold it ..

too loud overall..

with silencers - still too loud w/ drone.
without silencers - deafening, overly loud..

the drone at 4000RPM is killer to those around and inside the car

in my neck of the woods, one owner got ticketed twice for having an "loud exhaust" due to invidia.. he's got 2 court dates and facing fines..

cop magnet so watch out
