That is what I like to hear. Mine will be here tomorrow! I am adding the 5" tips also. Wife isn't too happy, so hoping it isn't crazy loud, and won't upset the neighbors. Ordered the progressive. From what it sounds like, seems to be like a scat pack challenger type sound almost.

Mine wasnt to happy. She hated my old car... it screamed lol

My wife likes it cause its really load on start up, and when on the throttle, but calm otherwise, ( just hard not to be on the GO pedal now lol) Please let me know your thoughts once you get yours. Like i said i love mine and glad i didn't pick anything else.

I also did the S&B cold air and throttle body from moes, installed all at once so not sure if that made any sound changes to the carven ? Dought it though

I have the progressive, glad I got that because it's definitely loud enough.

Is it obnoxiously loud tho?

Nope, it has a perfect throaty sound and mildly aggressive cold startup. That's why I bought it, didn't want to be "that guy" with an annoying loud exhaust going to work at midnight in a neighborhood full of million dollar houses.

Well I don't have to worry about the million dollar homes [emoji87]

I just don't want drone and in cab noise on highway. I have no issue with loud as long as not in the cab.

I think you get a little drone in the cab, but I think your going to get drone with any exhaust using MDS. I put my truck in manual 8th gear when I drive to keep MDS shut off.

I ordered the carven competitor from eBay, I was worried about in cab drone while hauling around the kids and wife but it's not bad at all if you keep your foot out of it, it growls as soon as you step on the pedal. Let's just say this I had it installed yesterday and haven't turned my radio on yet:happy107:

The eBay seller is very good but charges sales tax to some states. Also when carven was back ordered the eBay seller had stock and shipped same day. I got my exhaust weeks before other people who ordered directly from carven.

progressive by itself is pretty loud but not obnoxious; love its deep sounde. if you will be doing other exhaust or power mods, like headers, the competitor will end up being be too loud
