my perf. shop i deal with just did a set as they were doing my kooks..thay compared to mine and were very close...headers went on fine , i warned them about issues some had with pass frame and steering shaft..no problem on shaft, a litttle close on frame , does not appear they will rattle against..however they were disattisified with the rest of exhaust, did not fit like it should of mechanic said...they had to tweak things to get it to fit without making noise agaist different areas of car..just passing along my shops opinion..

Best I can say is watch the videos at the bottom of my review.
Loud is a loaded question, what is loud to you may not be loud to me?
You can hear the car inside, like I mentioned in my review it dose have minor drone at around 1,800 rpm's.

I have a rigid Panhead with no baffles, some say its loud but to me it's not loud enough.

i guess your right everones opinions of loud are different, haha. my wife is deiving our camaro on a daily basis so if the exhaust has too much drone it will spell problems for me. thanks for your review i did find it helpfull.

Yes in the beginning the window was down.
You can hear the wind and sound change when window went up.
