I didn't lose anything at all. Mine was so wheezzzzy that anything was
an improvement. In first through third it is somewhat loud till rpm's
get over 3k then it is VERY loud. On the interstate I don't even notice.
Driving through school zones (20mph) there is the deep gutteral, then
raspy as leaving zone, and finally jackhammer sounding accelleration
to third gear. Like I said, not too loud, for me.
First week after getting it I drove real slow just to hear it. I'm a nut!
