Loud enough to drum up a complaint or two from the neighbours in my apartment block It sounds glorious though and worth every penny. I had mine made at Motormech and the welds are spot on. Top quality.

It'll still sound good though I've got an inward rolled 3.5 inch slash cut tip on a 2.5 inch pipe with a back box only. I can highly recommend it as a future edition to your back box.

Happy with the end result, would have gone the whole hog but just spent on bloody load at JBT's. http://s1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd373/hoban81/longlife%20backbox/ Pics could have been better but the mrs has been pissing around with the camera settings again.
