extremely high pitched and annoying at high RPMs. Very low and deep at low RPMs. Overall, not good.

I have sweet thunders and an x and my car is hella loud. At 2k I have to have the radio off and still have to raise my voice for the passenger to hear me. And it has a nice low sound throughout the rpm range

Loud as all hell.

I never realized how loud it was until I went to Iraq.
Came back, took my car out of storage, and had the thing scare the cr@p out of me when I started it up.

I was forced to for about a two weeks cause powerflo mufflers were on back order. It sounded like crap and I hated driving.

I know a guy who replaced the muffler with piping on the stock system. I think it sounds horrible.
