when you mash the pedal, it is definitely loud but its not a higher pitched. it remains deep and throaty sounding. putting around town it is definitely on the quieter side but you can hear the deepness still. maybe about as loud as a stock G35 but deeper
1999 Pontiac Grand AM (all stock except like every dumb teenager I had 2 Kicker SoloBaric 15's in the trunk)
2004 Ford Ranger Edge (lifted 3", 33" tires, 4.0L V6 with a 5 speed manual)
2006 Scion xB (heavily modified, this got me into car shows and modding. I won about 35 trophies with the car...
it isnt that bad. if you look in the second picture, the windows are actually down a little, still cant see anything lol. worst case i just put the windows down if i am in a really dark part of town
5% is extremely dark. I can't really wear sunglasses in the car in the daytime as it is too dark to see well. Worst case, I crack the windows to let a little light in.
