Problem with my GReddy?

![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
So I finally picked up the GReddy SP2 system and had it installed yesterday. I was worried that it would be too loud, since that is what everyone has been saying. I'm not sure if there is a problem with mine or not because I can barely hear it. Even at WOT it doesn't sound all that loud. Could I possibly have a lemon?
Thanks
Thanks

I doubt it. I think when everybody talks about the after-market exhausts being too loud, we are all worried about it sounding really ricey or too loud. I don't think any of the major ones do. I was worried about the same thing when I bought my GReddy.
It isn't too loud. As you excellerate (especially after about 6K), you will really notice it. Under that is just a nice subtle roar.

Nothing to worry about. I bought mine for the tips, and heard it would be obnoxiously loud (which I didn't want). Bought it anyway, and it turned out not to be too loud at all, so it worked out great for me.
You were just expecting something different, that's all.

A friend of mine said that it would get louder upon break in as well. I'm just glad its not as loud as everyone was describing. I'm sure it will get a bit louder when I throw on the RP Midpipe. Does anyone have a sound clip of the greddy witht he RP midpipe?

I have one with the RP high-flow cat and the thing roars. My friend has an 8 with just the Greddy SP2 on and stock pipe and his is non-existance compared to mine, VERY big difference.

I also think your exhaust note will get louder as it get more broken in. I have a Greddy exhaust for my Honda Accord and it gave a really nice grumble in the beginning. It's been about 5 years or so since it was installed and I find it extremely loud now, even at idle. I checked and there are no holes etc throughout the exhaust system.
