Yes there was a noticable difference in sound, if you have a cat back on right now you will notice it much more, if its stock or you have a quiet catback (superturbo's or magnaflow's) it still pretty quiet, in the upper RPM's then its got a nice note, but still not loud. Now get a loud catback 40 series flows, slp's, magnapacks, mac, etc. then expect it to be much louder.
