Default Borla exhaust, magnaflow x pipe, crawford hfc, k&n intake

as the title stats this is the set up im going with. I already ordered the exhaust, intake, and x pipe. My question is for those who have gone this route and installed crawford Hfc, is the car loud enough to where my ears will hurt after awhile? i love how the borla exhaust sounds with the x pipe. would this alter the sounds or just amplify it? i havnt been able to hear the sound in person nor can i find a good recording of the sound ( not like it justifys the sound ). all feedback is welcomed. just like most people im going for that exotic sound thats loud at high rpms. but anything lower then 3k rpm is nothing to much louder then stock.

I used Kinetix HFC so it's not a direct comparison but I had a Boral TD, Kinetix V+ plenum and a JWT pop charger. I added the cats last and the change in the exhaust tone was minimum. The biggest change in sounds was with the intake and plenum.

I loved the sound. The plenum was a pretty easy install (I happen to have mine for sale) but I don't have a clue what a shop would charge to do it.

Here's a vid that shows the sound from an auto-x with a camera mounted to the front of the car, where you can really hear the intake.


I have several other videos on there from inside the car as well.
