I take driving fun off the street, too. I was pretty hesitant on getting anything for the exhaust because of how buzzy & nasty so many systems sound. This one is remarkably smooth & mellow despite using a straight-through muffler. It's supposed to be within legal dB limits, too, and I've still got the OEM catalytic convertor. Now... boost or swap?..

Back on topic --

Bells might be nice, or maybe a secondary horn with a lighter tone. Our buses at work have a regular horn (which mostly only get used when switching to reverse) and a truck-like air horn for extra attention-grabbing power.

In the meantime, I've settled for a short beep or two being a friendly equivalent of "on your left" and longer honks being anger-driven.
