bigger exhaust doesnt always mean more noise, it depends on the muffler and resonator. ive been in a car with 4 inch exhaust and it wasnt much more droney than my 3 inch. thats because i have tiny straight through resonator and straight through muffler. even with cheap 2.5 inch cat it drones like a bastard and is 102dB.

no point having 4inch exhaust and then tiny mufflers and resonators, the exhaust is as big as its its smallest section!

I've got a 3" all the way through and it is quite.

The Muffler box is a big straight through box and has a hot dog style resonator in the center of the exhaust.

Nice and quiet.. Cruising around you can't even hear it. Only under full throttle you hear the exhaust.

no, you misunderstood, i have a 3 inch with small overall diameter resonator and muffler. the resonator is more like a hot dog. because they are small, they dont cut down the noise much. whereas you could get much bigger size resonator and muffler on a 4 inch and wouldnt be much louder. thats all i was getting at.
