I posted a link to mine sitting in the garage in the other thread. It isn't to loud driving around but it's more than noticeable that it is not a stock exhuast. I'm not big into loud exhausts anymore but you could easily take the slip fit extension that I used to bring the tailpipe to the back of the car and trim it to fit in any and all of the resonator/muffler spots for the ultimate "tuneable" exhaust and it will cost your 8 bucks a section and the time to trim and replace with which ever one you want. Eventually I will probably throw a striaght pipe in the mufflers spot just for fun, then move it to the resonator and then maybe buy two and go straight pipe but I think I will have everyone in the neighborhood pissed off and I know for a fact I wouldn't like it that loud for very long.
I'll have to try to get a sound clip of mine since i finally have it to where i think i'm happy (for now...)
It's custom 2.5" pipe from the flexpipe back (deleted second cat) with a 6" round 24" long magnaflow pieced in.
i originally had the 2.5" straight (no magnaflow) with the catless dp and i thought it sounded like complete arse when on the gas; although deceleration sounded amazing. So i threw the catted dp back on... still wasn't happy with it. it had a real annoying moan like a dying moose from 2k-3k rpms. It sucks, when i drove it hard it sounded good, but when i was just cruising is when it was annoying. so i bought the magnaflow, pieced it in and put back on the catless dp... quieter now but still had that annoying sound.
So i ended up with what i have now. the catted dp, 2.5" from flexpipe back with magnaflow.
It's a little on the quiet side but i think it sounds good. i was never one for loud 4 bangers, but i guess that's from me coming from V8's that sound better stright piped...
anyways, i'll edit in a sound clip when i get the chance
through all this though i really got to see the difference in power the exhaust makes... i'll bet i lost 25% of the gains i had from fully stright piped

Magnaflow is a straight through style resonator, do you really think that you lost 25%?! And if you even lost 10% I think enjoying riding in your car without going deaf is worth much more than the 2 or 3 HP you might have lost.....
