Unfortunately, (and I don't know because my car isn't even built yet) I think that the sidepipes will be loud because they are right next to you. My Ute is very quiet, but I think if the pipes were coming out next to me I may have a different opinion.

Kanga, do you have hotdog style mufflers, or perforated tube and glass inside your sidepipes? There are many different types of these "hotdogs" (perforated tube, louvered, different sound deadening material etc.) that may do the trick.
