How is the sound quality? Is it quiet? The 03's whistle bad enough stock. Yeah it sounds cool but if it was any louder all the dogs in the neighborhood would start barking and chase me down the street.

My dog isn't bothered by the whistle, but he can hear me coming from about a quarter mile away or so. And he's the only one that i've taken notice of.

Overall, I got the same engine volume, with slightly lower tone, and a whole lot of whistle. My truck sounds like a miniature airliner on the road. I don't have any close neighbors, so no one minds the whistle.
