Borla ATAK not as loud as I expected...but still do sound awesome!

I just installed Borla ATAK full CAT back and CAI. I love the sound. It's just not near as loud as I thought it would be. My V6 with SOLO CAT back was louder.

Don't take this to mean I regret the ATAK. I love how it sounds.

Speaking of volume only...Is this to be expected? My wife even commented that it's not as loud as have friends.

loud is so objective, I have 1 7/8 Stainless Power headers with stainless works retro chambered Cat back 3' system and high flows. it is loud but I thought it might be louder to be honest. when I start it up in the morning it is like a small bomb going off...LOL. but it is only a bit more louder than when I had just the catback. there is no annoying drone, but a different person might say otherwise. I can hear the radio just fine and cell calls through the blue tooth work fine. it is impressive when you come roaring down the street. it is like a rolling billboard for bada$$!!

True, Jsaf.

It's louder than stock by a significant margin. I expected the same as my SOLO on my V6. Apparently that was VERY loud.

Not sure I want to do headers. I don't want to tune yet since I'm on warranty for 70k more miles.
