honestly, nothing in the engine bay makes very much noise at all. exhaust just really isn't very loud at all at idle. you can hear the pump so that will be replaced soon, but the minimal amount of valvetrain noise that i have is nothing out of the ordinary.
my original post was a slight exaggeration, you can hear it. my point was just that if that really is the legal limit it is stupidly quiet, and absolutely any aftermarket exhaust greatly exceeds it. really i don't see why everyone thinks longtubes automatically means insanely loud. automatics idle at 550 and through a magnaflow even with longtubes it is very very tame.
