Jake and I have the same mufflers on our cars. I went with the complete Stainless Specialties side pipes since my pipes had cracks in them, and Jake went with just the mufflers welded into his existing pipes.

At idle and normal acceleration, they are just mildly louder than the stock pipes. However, when you romp on it, they are considerably louder.

On our trip to Sun Mountain Lodge this year, there were 5 of us in a row. Jake was first, I was last. I'm a good 800 to a 1000 feet behind Jake when he flat footed it to pass a car. I could hear it back where I was, and my hearing sucks.

The next day we went for another ride, and Steve was behind me. When I went to pass a car, it scared the crap out of Steve it was so loud.

Personally I think they are considerably louder than the stock pipes when you are at full throttle.

However, I would never go back to the stock mufflers.
