I have Bubs and wouldn't be without them. They seemed loud at first but now they seem just fine, if anything a little too quiet!! They have a nice rumble at idle and settle down to a nice purr with speed. The sound when accelerating hard is awesome. If I were you I wouldn't be afraid to offend with loud mufflers -- remember those cars are out to kill you. Better heard than polite. When you replace the stock mufflers you will have to put in new jets. Don't worry, it's pretty easy -- just follow the steps on the Dinqua site (especially the part about having a good screwdriver to unscrew the jets).
