if u think about it big exhaust piping works like a megaphone, unless u have something bigger than a D17, ur always gonna have a bumble bee ish noise, of course i agree some are better than others... but in general its all the same. my megan sounded deep and had a very nice tone. however, if u record audio from outside, sounds just like any other rice exhaust... but yea it wasnt overly loud either, i got my megan catback off ebay for around $325.

i got the complete megan setup...im not like most ppl who rant about how good their mods/brand name mods are....but i pulled into the mall the other night to meet my boy blah blah blah.... i pulled in and there were like 5 squad cars there (this is way in the back). I double parked got out and they looked at meh and i said "wassup fellas" they gave me a weird look and one said thats a nice car sounds really good i laughed and said the music or the exhaust (sry mang not scared of 5!0!) he flipped one eyebrow and said the exhaust... remember i got TV's in the visors, headrests, 8 speakers (including sub), full exhaust and 3% tint w/ 7" windshield strip.
