Noticeable drone is 1800 to 2000 RPMs under light acceleration or up a hill. Beyond that, it is louder but fine IMO. However, my wife was in it yesterday and couldn't stop complaining how loud it was. Of course she was a little louder than the MPE
good job you didn't get a super sprint exhaust like me then. Wife was livid.

but cunning plan was to then get a MPE which is quieter than the super sprint so she is happier now
