Noweeds how loud?

So I have headers and run with my NPP open 99 percent of the time. The bad part is my hearing is going down the crapper with age.
Are Noweeds a bad idea. Is it super loud in the cabin?

I do not have a set but considering where they mount, basically they’d be under the driver/passenger seat area. Depending on wether or not they were fully open or not I’d assume the would create quite some noise.

WOT can get obscene, especially cammed. However, it's so much fun! You can open them partially and it isn't as intense.

I have Noweeds; they're probably the most fun mod I've done to the car. Awesomely satisfying fun. Control panel inside the car; mine is on 3 settings - mute(thru the exh system) semi-open (which is how I drive the car most often) and fully open (when I want to set off car alarms and frighten small children)
Very well-engineered product; all stainless steel, quality items. Go git summ!

And no , the noise inside is fine. With my windows down and in mode 2 it's superb. Mode 3 is LOUD (no drone) just LOUD!

Yellow 1, I'm curious. How are Noweeds looked at in the UK? There's places around the US that would very much frown upon them because of the noise, but others that don't mind. I'm lucky not not have been harassed by the police around here yet, but I also don't get stupid with mine.

Tinitus not so much, I have a little. My highs are gone, I do wear hearing aids a home mainly to keep the wife happy.
Many years of motocross and working around machinery...oh and concerts have taken their toll.

Hey Pyroguy!
We have an annual inspection here in the UK; the car is up on a ramp for inspection of stuff (much the same as in the US I would expect) If the diverters are closed off the car will pass inspection; if they're open, it won't.
I don't get stupid with mine, wouldn't open them up near a cop car. I do drive most of the time with them semi-open as they're not ridiculously loud, just a nice bass and a raspy crackle when you get on it. I think the long tubes accentuate it too - a great noise - will try post a clip.
I just love the soundtrack - beats the whine of my blower hands down (and I don't listen to music in the car - there's no point with the beautiful noise the motor makes!

better think it over then.im sitting here typing and my ears are ringing like a mofo.3 years in a tank unit(army),25 years of big block pontiac with headers and 50 years of rock and roll has taken its toll.still cant wait for the live music to come back though,might as well finish the job...

I’ll be installing one of these on my car once the warranty expires. I just watched a Saleen that has one and it sounds nasty.
