Default DG Xccelerator Stage 3, V-Force

Heard this exhaust and loved the sound level of it. Does anyone know the decibel level on this particular pipe and model of quad? It would be GREATLY appreciated information because this is the sound level I'm looking for. I know for a fact it doesn't have the external discs, but that's about all I know because their exhaust site is STILL very confusing. Chances are it is the cheapest one available, but anyway, can somebody help me here? Had to dredge this old thread up because I'm STILL trying to figure this one out....

Like "cover-your-ears" loud? This was not at all how this system sounded. It had a good rumble off idle and increased with hard acceleration, but definitely not something I would find annoying in any way, and this is coming from a guy who's considering an FMF Q. Are you sure we're thinking of the same system?

So nobody on here is running a Stage 3 Full on their V-Force that can tell me the decibel level? This would be so much easier if DG would answer my e-mails.......

As crazy as this may seem, I never even thought of that. In today's world of high-tech communication and e-mail, a simple phone chat sometimes slips my mind.........
