i personally love the tip, i don't really like the big cannister style. It is loudest around 2000-3500 rpm's. If you can stay out of those then you can't even hear it. With a manual it's nice because you can usually shift around the loudness unless you are going on the freeway @ 70ish. Hasn't bothered me yet, i don;'t do a lot of highway/freewya driving though
