wait, does that mean there is such a thing or isn't? personally, i think there is, but it depends on the car/engine. on a civic, ka 240sx, or b13 rx7 there is such a thing as too loud. on any v8, vq, or horizontally opposed engine there is not such thing as too loud.

Is it loud if you accelerate "normally" and shift at say 2500 or so? Or just if you use the lead foot and let the rpms run up?

well im just running everything stock until the y-pipe, but fromt here back it just the stock mid-pipe to resonator, then 3" all the way back... no muffler... But Jermy is running headers, TPs, and an aftermarket y-pipe... those alone would make it loud haha so his is probably twice as loud as mine..

as for my wheels... ive been waiting almost two months for them.. and still no sign of when they will come in...
