Well the last time I had an exhaust on any of my vehicles was 5 years ago and since then I've just become particular about things like exhaust noise. I want an exhaust that is virtually quiet from inside the car yet has a little rumble outside (I know this will be hard in a hatchback since the area above the muffler is open with the hatch cargo area). This popped and crackled a ton. From 2,500-4,000rpm at 1/2 throttle or more, it would be loud enough that it made things inside buzz a little and I'd have to raise my voice to have a conversation with people. It wasn't droning so much as just a constant noise. I didn't notice much of a difference in power, except I wanted to smash the accelerator more often since it screamed above 4k.

Here's a video I took that somewhat picks up the sound:

My theory on exhausts for this car is that there are 3 types (in order of loudness):

1. No resonator, straight through muffler
2. Resonator, straight through muffler
3. No resonator, chambered muffler

What I probably need is a resonated, chambered muffler exhaust. Magnaflow and Borla catbacks look like they have chambered mufflers, but hard to tell.

How loud is it when cruising/maintaining speed?

How loud is it when cruising/maintaining speed?

If you're below 2,500 then it's barely louder than stock. Above 4k almost the same as well. If you're maintaining speed in the 2,500-4k range, it sounds like the video.

I've heard of people with similar exhausts saying it's loud when they're on the highway at higher speeds and the RPMs are in the 3-4k range.

I'm sure a catback will be for sale when you're ready. I usually save for several months for a pricier item and something almost always pops up (or a sale is running for a holiday)!
