Anybody local to Central NJ with a Full B&B Exhaust?

[Bandit400]

I am starting to get scared my exhaust system plan is going to be too loud. I plan to go with B&B header, RT HF Metal Cats, B&B cat back exhaust. Is there anyone who is reasonably local to the Freehold area in Central NJ and who has a similar exhaust setup. I would love to hear it before I actually install it. I also plan on putting on A Roe SC and have heard this actually quiets the system a little, any truth to this? Thanks.

I've heard one person say louder, one quieter.... My guess - It won't have much effect except for the slight whine from the blower. If anything, probably a little louder since it is forcing more air/fuel into the motor at a greater rate. It doesn't make sense that it would make the exhaust quieter, but I can't speak from first hand knowledge.

Now a turbo system can quiet down an exhaust, since it uses exhaust gases to turn the turbo's shaft - impeller.

The cats will help to tone the volume. If your were going catless, it would be much louder. Of course, exhaust volume is subjective.

Are you worried about the car being too loud inside the cockpit, or outside the car? I've found the Corsa & B&B are about the same volume on the outside, but the Corsa is much quieter inside the cockpit, due to drone reduction.

I have only read in the Viper forum that it quiets it down. No explanation given. Maybe this is said because it changes the over-all vibration of the engine? So, in truth, it is just quitting the sound of the engine not the exhaust? Just hazarding a guess.

I would also think that the blower would increase the noise slightly but I saw a few people post otherwise. My concern is primarly outside the car as I hate to attract the local fuzz anymore than I am already. I would like to hear it in person but what the hell its a performance car and with the Roe SC it will really fit the part. I am sure all of my neighbors will hate me when I crank it up in the morning or late at night. Oh well they will have to live with it.

If someone is local, I would still like to hear it. Thanks.
