Hey...Yeah, I ended up getting a custom Flowmaster Dual Exhaust with a High Flow Magnaflo Cat. The shop thought I wanted loud so they left off the resonator. Holy crap, it was loud! I ended up going back for the resonator and even that was quite loud, though not too bad. The shop owner installed a 2nd resonator for free. The sound is very mellow now except for in acceleration. 2 resonators probably un-did any HP gains I might of had, except for the fact that I up-sized the piping to 2.5". THe Pre-cat is still on but will hopefully go this Spring.Dave

I put on a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler and it gave a nice smooth exhaust tone that wasn't much louder than stock. But once I put on my SR Intake it was a night and day sound difference. I really like the sound of it now. Deep and smooth tone.
