There is the time when the pipe after the cat actually broke a couple of 
times, and you want to know what loud is??? My god, that thing was 
awesome though.  When i would pull onto the freeway and run through the 
gears with no muffling, and a wall right next to the car, it really got 
my heart going.  Incredible sound, even though it did give me a headache. 
 Sounded not unlike a turbo 5...hmmm....

fun, fun fun :o)
