I'm interested in the TiiCo and other engine conversions as one day who knows.
I might go for it.

I have but one question at this time. What is the noise level like with the
Tiico?

Has anyone ever tried to make a definitive exploration of the DB levels before
the conversion and then after the conversion., for accurate comparison, instead
of all the subjective crap? Numbers, for the most part, don't lie. Of course I
know the brain interprets the sounds and will ultimately decide what is
acceptable and what is not. But having the numbers for comparison would help a
lot.

I remember years ago how badly I wanted GlassPaks on my jeep. It thought the
sound was very "Bad!!!" like you know, Cool!!  Well, in a very short time the
difference in the noise level had me hating those suckers. I got another jeep
with stock mufflers.

I would really hate having a spiffy Tiico conversion that I couldn't live with.
