Ive got a Stealth 2 cam in mine with a 2.5inch exhaust from Manta, with the Manta mufflers its loud and drones a little so put on the stock rear mufflers and you can still tell its cammed at idle.

nope, its a little louder then stock but most people don't even notice it till I tell them, my drive way runs down the past the neighbours bed room and I leave at 430 every morning and they have never complained.

Some varex rear mufflers would help with noise on startup until your far enough away or want to hear it

Me personally, I like the sleeper persona of my car, so the manta with stock mufflers is perfect for me, however the Manta mufflers give off a worked V8 sound with both stock and the manta exhaust, and yes when I plant the foot you know its worked.
