 About 2 1/2 years ago while driving with the top down at freeway speeds to a Club Christmas party (OK, I admit I was wearing a jacket while driving) I checked the cockpit sound level with a Radio Shack meter I had purchased for ROM auditory hazard use at work.  The meter reading exceeded 100 dB.  A sustained sound level of 85 dB or higher is considered to be damaging to unprotected ears. 

The sharpness of the exhaust note coming from the 20 year old Monza exhaust system caused me to finally order a new system from Delta.  I had the Delta system installed by a shop near my office and it is much easier on the ears.

The only thing I would ask Delta to change on this system is the angle of the twin tips.  I think they would look much "cooler" if they were angled slightly upward, like the Monza, rather than the straight back current orientation.
