I like the growl that has versus the whiny two-stroke sound, but you're right, its a bit too loud for me.

And i swear it feels like it has a little more power in the high rpms, but i could just be imagining it

so you have just cats right? or do you have a muffler too.. i just recently took off the rear muffler and it sounds reallly nice between 1k-35k but is fairly quiet above 35k.. will res delete give me the top end growl im looking for while keeping the bottom end nice and smooth growl still?

i was thinking about doing a custom cat back on my 2.8 30 valve, leaving the cat's, removing the resonator and doing 2.5" piping from the cats back to a magnaflow muffler. anyone ever seen this or think its a good idea? also aledelic i was thinking about getting a blacked out detagged grille for my car? same color blue as the avant want to know if it would look good or not i cant find any pics of it on cars
