After doing more research I'm right back where I started sigh........I am worried that the 14" will be too loud combined with my S&B. I am also worried drone will be annoying on the freeway. With that being said I am also worried the 18" won't be much different from the stock exhaust already on my sport. So far this is turning out to be the hardest decision yet for my truck..........frustrated to say the least. I wish I knew somebody close by with either of these so I could hear in person.
I am not sure where you are located.
We don't have any small children that ride with us on a regular basis, the grandkids have not been in the truck yet.
If it was me trying to make up my mind,
I would probably put on the 18" and then if I was really unhappy with the results, install the 14" and either:
sell the 18" (even if I only recoup half my money)
-or-
put it on my garage wall (to remind me not to listen to internet people
)
-or-
just to have for later use if I decide that I want quiet things down a bit.
Hope this helps a little.
ETA: and if it turns out the 18" is too loud, you can always swap out to the 22"
also keep in mind women have better hearing than men. (mother hearing, or something like that
)
