HKS Carbon-Ti exhaust

Is this exhaust supposed to be super soft in noise? I have it on my car and although it has a huge HP gain, the sound is just rediculously soft considering that the outlet is about 4"-5" in diameter ...what do you guys think?

yeah!!! the carbon-ti exhaust is one of the louder exhausts out there, although the Nur Spec might be a lil louder.

maybe you need a turbo/injectors/fuelpump upgrade to hear the diffrence! lol nah i got all that and its still pretty soft, BUT i recently switched my map, and i'm boosting much earlier, meaning now its pretty loud but not very annoying, can't really tell while i'm driving.

usdm ones don't come with a silencer. You'll have to get it somewhere else or special order from hks.
