I'm thinking of running the Dinan exhaust with the Fabspeed 200 cat....first installing the Dinan and then, if it is not too loud, adding the Fabspeed, but having the actual decibel ratings would be a huge help in the decision making process....so if anyone has the actual numbers let me know!!!!
Thanks....
I do not have dB readings as well but I can speak from experience.

Upon cold start-up, it definitely will be a loud start. But this only lasts for about 15-20 seconds and then idle will sound very similar to stock. I have some pretty cool neighbors as well and not one of them has a complaint about it. I also have our Muffler Bypass Exhaust which I think is even a little louder than the Dinan setup.

Check your PMs and we can chat more!

I think in the most of the cases you could be ok just with the first step only.
I absolutely agree! I think the best place to start is our Sport Cat Downpipe and see if that is sufficient enough for you. The Sport Cat alone provides a nice bump in power and sound.
