its really really loud till the car warms up, then it is just really loud. i ran open header once before just for a day after install, and i kind of crept up on some kid that was walking by, not purposely but just kind of happened that way, and when i got close to him, he wasn't paying attention because i was crossing the street talking to a friend, and i got right on the gas by him, and he jumped about 10 foot, and his face was priceless.

No harm to the car... just the enviroment. I'm not a tree-hugger but just dont like breathing in those fumes. Enjoy the loudness and hope you dont get pulled over
