Whoosh catted downpipe + CP-E Nexus exhaust - livable in a neighborhood?

I am trying to decide between the Nexus and Thermal exhaust. I prefer the note of the Nexus but am concerned about how loud it will be when paired with a high-flow catted downpipe. I come home from work between midnight and 2 am and just want to make sure that I won't be waking everyone up on my way home.

I'm de-catted with the nexus exhaust and it's totally good at 25mph speed in 4th gear. Just a very low rumble but nothing obnoxious. I imagine with some sort of cat it would be quieter.

I have that system with a factory downpipe, and it is yes, 'rumbly', but not at all annoying, or objectionable to neighbors at cold start up, or at revs below 3 grand.

(We have a 15 MPH limit in this 'hood anyway, so that helps. [wink])

Made a video.

Remember, car is catless. I imagine it would be quieter with a cat.


The video was recorded with the same exact phone as this one:

Wow, thank you so much!! The car sounds awesome and I really appreciate the videos for reference. That’s a huge help
