I had a friend with a custom 2.5" pipe running to a 5Zigen muffler, it was loud as hell, and sounded real ricey until properly warmed up, then it sounded pretty good despite the fact that it was so damn loud it could set off car alarms on the other side of a parking lot.

Well, the parking lot was a gas station parking lot, and he wrecked that car a few weeks later. I maintain that it sounded good after it was warmed up.

Have you looked at Thermal Research products, they usually aren't loud and obnoxious and usually post good dyno numbers too.

First off, learn to experience internet purchases outside of ebay, this is the greatest thing that could ever happen to you. Second off, I've never been a fan of Greddy products because I can usually find a better product at a better price, but since they redesigned it, it may be good.
