is the sole purpose for this header to not make the cabin as noisey with the softtop??

The soft top mounts directly to this header; without the header there is no way to mount the top to the windshield, as it attaches differently than the factory top.

It's the only way too attach the header correctly. When you remove the softtop, it comes off at the same time, so faster also.

I guess it depends on your vehicle roof line, but I'd wager there is a negative impact on mileage. The included faring is supposed to help reduce noise and drag, but I think it adds a lot to the noise, anything over 30-40 mph I can really hear it with my Subaru.

We deployed this unit out to a client so its not something that I have daily interaction with. However, I don't recall it being something that stood out to me or if I even noticed any fan noise at all. I know that isn't a great deal of useful information but wanted to get a response back to you.

It's noisy. high pitch sound, but not unbearable. It's noticeable for sure, so try to place it far away from where you'll be sitting.

You want louder? Different headers, CAI. Or just buy another type of exhaust that's louder.

The short answer is, maybe. It really depends on the install. I sit 8 feet from the installed location and its noticeable that its on. When it is on the noise volume is quite low. However when I go downstairs (directly underneath it) I don't hear it at all.

Not at all... the air flow is minimal. I would guess its primary use would be to cool electronic components by placing it on top with the exhaust facing rearward.

It honestly depends where you install/place the alarm/box module. Example if installing in the tail section under the passenger seat, the cushion will sorta muffle the sound. If you install the module somewhere on the interior of your plastic the sound will not be blocked by anything which will make it significantly louder. Anymore questions feel free.

It is not silent, but not noisey either. a good pad underneath would limit the noise.

In all honesty I haven't rode it since I installed. But it does fill in the gap a bit with the outer flap you could use the foam like goes around an window air unit to seal. It did bring cabin noise down inside just ridding it around the house. I am planning in ridding this weekend if at all possible you can ask again hopefully I can give an answer

I installed it in my engine compartment and it is very quiet there. It certainly is no louder than what an osillating fan would be in the house. Should work for your application too.

Not inherently.. you might be able to modify it somehow to do that, I don't know.. but as it comes, it's only an exhaust fan..

It's makes the sound of perhaps "light air flow." I don't think it will disturb anyone. It's not completely silent but the sound is "soft."

Stuff a little cotton in the intake. Most of the noise is from the intake chamber resonating.

We leave it on the low white noise setting, which is like being next to a major waterfall and the volume can be turned up quite high, probably more than you would want. Been using it for over a month now and really like it's size. But you only have the white noise, which I imagine as a waterfall and the fan sounds, which I don't like. Hope that helps.

same as any a/c i think - didnt really notice it one way or the other - not silent of course, it does mask speech a bit when on high fan, but i think you would expect that with any fan

Interesting. We have yet to install ours. From the demo I have used and tested it was very quiet. You might have a defective one. I wouldn't have even thought about purchasing it if was noisy
