I've got the Helix dump pipe, Helix front pipe, Helix stainless metal cat, and the Trust stainless PE2 catback and my car is only a little louder than stock. According to the engineer who is getting it all RTA (Oz Roads & Traffic Authority) approved it will still be below the 94dB at 4000rpms limit.

my question is wtf, isnt it supposed to be louder? other mods on the car are, 10.5 manifold, megan headers, uic piping, ebc, and ingen intake. i mean it sounds really nice and doesnt effect the proformane. but mine was louder with just the tbe and test pipe and thats it. so??????
thanks Charlie
P.S. we checked all the bolt on everything and the gaskets and its all sealed.

I've owned an STI and turbo'd RSX-S and I can say that this exhaust on my EVO is def quieter then either. This is without the silencer too, with the silencer it's really close to stock.
