Crazy...

I guess YMMV... Mine is quiet... Did you watch the vids? I've listened from inside and outside the vehicle, and neither is bad. My Tires are a bit noisy on freeway, but around town you can't hear them.

You're positive it's the 2525XL and not the 2525?

Big difference is the addition of a resonator.

Sorry if I was misleading in it's DB... I guess what I mean is IMO it is quiet Way quieter than a 4 Banger with Any after market exhaust.
