What about the loudness of RPi? I do frequent traveling on interstates, and I don't wanna get sick of it. Any thoughts, guys?

I don't think it's an issue.

I think you'll love the RPI, and not regret one bit after you have it on your car.

GO FOR IT !!

I have been looking for a while myself and I think that going down to the tri-meet I should be able to hear the rpi and what it sounds like. Will anyone be there with a dinan on a 550?

Anyone who says the RPI doesn't drone is either deaf, or lying to you ;-)

Under 2k RPMs (stop and go city driving), the RPI drones like a motorboat (loud). At cruising speed on the highway however, you can barely hear it at all. Overall, the RPI is not subtle at all.. and it WILL turn heads.

I actually really like my RPI exhaust... but with that said- if I were in a career where I would need to chauffeur clients or other professionals around, I would have taken it off long ago. My girlfriend and my mother both can't stand it either.

So yeah, if low-key is what you're after, I'd look elsewhere.
