I have not heard another like his ever.. BUT I don't know how the drone would be to me inside the car. Drone and loudness are subjective. Unfortunately it seems there is a history in my family with tinnitus, so my ears are sensitive to some different levels of noise, it sucks.. so I have Corsa WITH Cats and headers. In the car I am comfortable and it does not bother me. I honestly think the cats help make the Corsa sound a bit better outside the car, but still not low and throaty. I love low and throaty but HATE the booming drone our cars produce, my ears cannot handle that

I have heard Pete's and Dominic's cars, both sound Awesome, but I cannot take the drone for very long (yes guys, I hear the drone with the flappers closed too) While the drone it cut in 1/2 or maybe more than half, it still bothers my ears. With the sensitivity of my ears I have to get something that is comfortable to me.

Growing old sucks.. glad I have decided to slow down the growing up part

How about the db level in theaters nowadays? I have to cover me ears on the previews. I'm afraid they'll start bleeding. In between the previews when it to total silence I like to say out load "they need to turn it up a bit".

I do absolutely agree, it is very much subjective. I don't drive my car so much for others to hear outside. I drive it for the seat-of-the-pants feels. I had enough drone(resonance) in the 70s to last a lifetime.
