Loud, my bike is 110 DB @ 8000RPM. (yamamoto & tyga can)
curts uber pikeys was about 88Db of the top of my head, ive found that the carbon cans tend to be a little quieter becuase a metal can tends to echo/vibrate it out more, and the carbon tends to absorb it as such, i could be talking complete bollocks but thats my opinion, as a rule a DB killer will work but they vary, which one do you have and how long is your end can?

You can get apps for phones now that measure decibels. Might be worth a try if you just want an idea of how loud it is
