For those that actually have the Dinan exhaust (rear section only), or have heard it first hand, please comment (for those that have heard it on Youtube, please DO NOT comment)

How much louder is the Dinan exhaust at idle vs the OEM at idle (assuming the initial 30 second rough-start is over with and the cats are warmed up)? Is it 10% louder, 20, 30%?

I know it's one of the quieter exhausts out there, but I just want to better understand how it compares to OEM at idle. I know the "full" system including Dinan's midpipe really makes it sound better once you get around 4,000 rpm...but, I'm just looking for what it sounds like with the rear section only at this point.

Thanks much.
