Right now I'm running kinda open header. I had to cut off the exhaust right after the primary cats to change my driveshaft, and since then, my friend threw away the rest of the catback. It sounds great, has a nice loud rumble at idle, but accelerating, it just doesn't sound the same as a bigger engine. I'm guessing it's gonna sound similar with straight pipes, though not as loud in the actual cabin.

At least now that my friend threw away my stock crap, I have an incentive to finish up my plans... with a true dual stainless steel exhaust setup to dual magnaflows. Should sound great once it's done.
