I have bad hearing now. I have no desire to have loud exhaust on anything. My Harley is quieter than my diesel truck is.Don’t feel bad, you can always send the thing back and if not just hold onto it in case the lift pump fails. I’ve had a Borla exhaust system sitting in a box for 6 months now and can’t make up my mind weather I am even going to use it, I’m getting to the age where I am thinking that quiet stock exhaust isn’t a bad thing.
