That's what I ran into when I was researching a while back.

Sounds aggressive at start up with a deep V8 sound. Some drone up to 2k rpm, but not enough to be an issue. Heck, if I'm cruising at 2k or less, it's in a parking lot...and then I want people to hear me coming considering the soccer mom on the phone, yelling at the kids and backing her mini van up in the Walmart parking lot! At cruising speed I can still use my Bluetooth (could not do so with Riss Racing) as it's just a bit more agressive than stock.
Wide open throttle is kinda aggressive...not quite as aggressive as I anticipated from some posts. But that's ok with me.
To further endorse my decision, my 70 year old father-in whose visiting this week said the car sounds like a sports car should (hint-hint BMW M Division). He said the car was too quiet before... But what would you expect to hear from a old muscle car/Nascar fan?

Well, if you say it's good, then maybe it's worth a shot for the OP.
