cabin drone on the magnaflow 14816? I am kinda interested in upgrading my exhaust when I go back to AZ to get my car, but I don't want terrible drone for 2000 miles! I can deal with a little, cause my Xterra had a flowmaster 40 and some cabin drone, but nothing I couldn't look past. Just looking for some input!

My understanding is that if you use the stock piping its not too bad but with the resonator deleted it gets loud.

It's not bad, but I would definitely leave the resonator. I rode in a B5 recently with the 14816 and it made plenty of noise...it might have been a little annoying if I'd been in the car much longer. The 14816 tips look even bigger in person than in pictures (to me). I like the 14815 and the 14862 better.

alright cool... i am still looking around so, not sure exactly what I am getting, I just don't want to go crazy by time I get back to Washington lol...

With the res. delete will it sound more backfirey? Cause I have a friend with a 2.0t gti and I kinda like the backfire sounds, but I think his sounds better because the bigger engine and turbo...
