I like things a little quieter now
one of my roommates spend a big gob of cash on headers and getting dual exhaust straight out the back on his truck. it sounded really cool at first, but eventually he got tired of it being so lound and went back to the stock setup.
Was it a v-8? What did he do for an exhaust. I am slowly learning that if done right, a single exhaust can sound real nice, yet not be obnoxious.

The last one I did was a 5.3, put a flowmaster 50 delta flow in place of the stock muffler, left the cat on. It idles just a little louder than stock and cruise is just a hair above stock but once you rev or accelerate, it sounds just like a muscle car, very deep tone, very nice. Not at all metallic like I would have expected from a non delta flow flowmaster. Of course they come with a 3" pipe stock so, its not all that bad.

My brother just put a single delta flow 50 on a 4.3 six banger, removed the cat. Suprisingly the idle is definitely louder than stock but the cruise and acceleration are right where a person would want it if they were looking for noticable but not earth shattering.
