OEM I'm sure.
Are you asking what's the quietest aftermarket setup, then it's probably not worth the hassle because the performance gains are so minimal.
I've never seen this confirmed via a dyno of a T4R V8 but I've done a significant amount of dyno/tuning time with higher performance cars, and you're usually looking at 0-8HP at the VERY most (and that high end would be an incredibly high-flow system that's also pretty loud).

Yes correct, my question is what is the quietest aftermarket exhaust, its my daily driver, sometimes for long distances, not sure how much Drone i am willing to listen to.
If your looking for the quietest , stay with stock . Your also concerned about drone ..... stay with stock.
If your looking for high horsepower....... stay with stock, gains are minimal at best, don't believe what the mfg's tell you about gains.
I also have done many dyno tests with aftermarket exhaust and he is totally correct. The only time I saw higher gains were on a supercharged/forced induction car. It was my 2003 Mustang Cobra with factory supercharger.
Drone ............ an almost given with aftermarket exhaust. It gets very tiresome for an everyday driver. My Cobra was annoying just as a weekend car.

I have the Gibson for the v8.
it sounds amazing. gives it that v8 sound thats lacking. not very loud from outside of the car or inside of the car, but you do hear it sound s lil more throaty from inside the cabin. it definitely doesnt have that huge sound on the interior that most cars do. if anything, it brings it up to about the same exterior noise that's commonly found on stock v8 Tahoe's and whatnot.
a good buy, i almost wish it was a little louder, but it's just enough to know it's there and still carry a normal conversation inside the car.
