I have at catless pipe. That's going to make it a lot louder. I *THINK* most of the folks responding also have catless DPs.
I speculate (given the way mine sounds now) that if you have a catted DP, the volume is significant lower. My vote is you install it and report back to us. On a selfish level, I'm curious in case I choose to switch to a catted DP to eliminate the 3-4k "tuba".
I really do love the way it sounds though; it reminds me of all the modded Bimmers I seem to attract around my mini (and I've always been a fan of the "sophisticated" sounding exhausts).
I have a oem catted downpipe on my jcw and it has horrible booming between 3-4k.I think the tubing may be too thin and contributes to the booming noise. The system booming reminds me of my 440 super bee when i had cheap blackjack headers and aluminized pipes running cherry bomb mufflers .
