Yeah with windows up it sounds perfect. Down, I gotta turn the music up a bit or else it's all I can hear.

Turbo with a straight pipe is not AT ALL obnoxious, in fact barely noticable, when cruising in a '92-up Ford.

Under hard aceleration it's louder but it sounds good. higher RPM decelerating/engine braking sounds like an Jake brake.
