i got a tanabe, when i first got it. the tanabe gp medallion, it was quite, and for 600 bucks i was sad... lolz.. but after i put on the dc headers, and iceman exhaust, it was equivalent to like just a loud exhaust.. i dunno, tanabe is 50 state legal, its quite, but once you start building with mods, ur engine gets louder and louder, so try to start from the quitest and work your way louder.
