Message	because you tone is being caught by the rear bumper and echoing up into the car. The z is really not very sound deadened in the rear. I even used spray in foam insulation behind my rear panels on my na and it helped slightly. But when i got different mufllers that set out farther, it was much quieter. Besides, the labree isnt suppossed to sit far in is it? it looks funny. In addition, they are small mufflers, nothing lke a sp2 or anything. I bought obx that look like the sp2 and they are amazing, good perforamnce and super quiet, even with test pipes
