Yup, I second that. I'm using the Cobb DP with their catback system. I can say that it is quieter compared to a lot of my fellow Evos out there. But once I put in a resonator test pipe, I can hear an increase in the sound level.

Ok, account authentication issue. Anyhoo. Here are the vids.

Notice that the volume of the radio is on "1" halfway through the video. I listen to it on about "18" when I have the windows down at 45mph, (and "30" when that song is on! ) so yeah, it's quiet. You can even hear the radio knob click when I turn it, and I've never noticed that in the car, even with the old, whisper-quiet exhaust. ..."She gotta be from outta town!"
Second video, you can hear me snapping my fingers, yeah, it's a horrible way to test sound, but it's almost all you got. Depending on which video I uploaded, you may be able to hear me wiping my shoes on the concrete driveway at the end of the video.

Your Exhaust tip sits nice and centered, one of the few that actually fits with the rear bumper. I have a Touge Factory custom exhaust and it still sits pretty far the the left, like the Buschur one does.

I'm about sold on this TBE. It's just a TEENSY bit blingy too while looking nearly completely stock. Combine that with an ETS FMIC and the initiated will know, the uninitiated will not. Hmmm...

Wow that is quiet inside, I can actually hear Miley singing! My TBE is quite loud in the cabin, but I do have an RS.

snapping the fingers was a brilliant idea. it really gives the contrast you need to understand how loud it would be.

To echo your point FJF, I was going to say that I've ridden in a test-piped, BR Bullet equipped Evo with a big turbo, and I really didn't think it was that loud. It was a little much for me for daily use though. It was "detroit pistins"'s car that has a Feeler in the marketplace if anyone wants to look at the build. Ali and I were able to hold a conversation in his car under acceleration with no issues.
The point, however, is that the downpipe didn't make the car significantly louder, which is all I cared about as I had already heard the Tanabe Medalion Touring in person on two different cars. What threw me off was that one car had a stock downpipe, and the other car had an extra resonator welded in, so I didn't know what it would sound like with my combo. I can now speak with experience that Tanabe+UR HFC+Megan DP is not a loud combination among the ~15 Evo's I've heard.
