I think you will be fine cruising. However everyone's perception on what is loud varies.

Well I talked to some of the guys over at Kooks, and I'm going to have them swap out the bullet mufflers for a pair that is a little quieter.

Most of the lifted trucks around here are louder than my car by a good bit but it's the noise inside the car that gets to me. I do think the low exhaust notes can be heard from pretty far away though.

Inside the car isn't any louder than my old Corsa WITH cats! I've seen and heard vids of my car driving and still have the same impression.....lol, maybe going deaf and simply can't tell the difference anymore

Well, with the blower, it is louder, because now you have air pressure pushing out the exhaust under boost, so it's a good bit louder that it was NA.
