From wat i understand, its not so much the exhaust that makes the car loud..but the headers. So i guess if you wanna keep your car quiet, leave the stock manifold on. (and rb has the quietest cat-back i believe)
Wait...i guess the headers are part of the exhaust, but normally when people say exhaust they mean cat-back....bahh watever, you get the point.

Warning!
If you get RB road race headers and presilencer, it won't do ****. The presilencer is, I swear I had it, for purely looks.
If it's turbo, my T2 with HKS Sports exhaust had very nice low baritone noise and not loud at all at partial throttle. Sounded like a well-tuned sports car from factory.

I have the stock manifold (n/a), Bonez Superflo Cat/down pipe, Racing Beat y-pipe and some Bosal mufflers off a junkyard Tll. Decent sound, not tinny, but we're not talking a high dollar performance setup, either.
The rule of thumb is that it is always much louder outside the car than it is inside. I remember years ago when I had a 70 Mustang and asked the muffler shop for their quietest mufflers. From the way they looked at me, you'd think I had two heads. It's just that people like the nice deep V8 sound and rumble, but if you select the parts so that you hear that same sound/tone inside the car, it is much louder and different on the outside.

I have the GReddy power extreme. Extremely quiet, no louder than stock even under WOT.
Only problems are the $950 price tag and stupid 4 1/2" exhaust tips.
I really hate those tips.

Jesus is the Messiah
How much louder will headers (lets say the RB) make the car anyway? (Lets just say we're keeping the cat and a quiet catback with it)
Idling?
Accelerating?
Cruising?
WOT?
