The beginning of the video should give you some idea of what dB you're dealing with. Stock rating 90dB and Eisenmann Race 95dB, but it's measure at idle only

My Eisemann race is really loud. I like it, but long distance it can get slightly annoying, especially early in the morning.

ACM Custom Modded Exhaust is a great system. I actually came from a E Race, a Black Series to be specific with connecting pipes. The drone killed me because i couldn't have a normal conversation over the bluetooth and things just got annoying over time. Let me tell you something your not wasting your time on this ACM setup because 1 is it cheap and 2 no drone with a great tone/sound. The loudness is the same as E race but with no drone as i wanted. Price for me doesn't matter Cheap or Expensive.

It's a muffler delete setup plain and simple. Save the money and weight and do muffler delete pipes versus the acm mod

I would hope that's outside, because inside of the car should be high 60's to 70's stock, lol.

EDIT:
Cruising speed at 85mph in top gear is 78db. Full throttle is 85db.

These are all in-cabin ratings.

Macht schnell xpipe which deletes primary and secondary cats and uuc/Corsa axel back exhaust. Outside it's tame when cruising and loud and high pitched when you punch it. Interior is almost no drone, it is an amazing sounding exhaust.
