I ve been looking to trade my stromung dual tip for something more quiet. Does anyone know how does the stromung compare to borla hush or mrt. Am I going to notice the difference or not?

The Borla "hush" catback is probably the quietest you will fine
right next to the stock catback.

I would have to include the SPT catback with this group ~ it is almost as quiet as OEM stock, but a lower idle tone and you can hear the boxer note as well.

the hush gives you a deeper and slightly louder idle volume but can really scream when you get into higher revs
