just my 2 cents
i removed mine at the muffler shops recomendation-( I liked the svt sound but wanted it louder)
anyway- it was too raspy/honda sounding -- yes it is louder but the crackle was annoying- and there was a drone-(odd pitch in the car) at certian rpm's
so had them put a glass-pack where the res. was-
now it sounds a little louder but no drone- crackle. but amplifies the stock sound some what--
i am happy with this combination.
there now I am 2 cents in the hole, time for me to go read someone elses 2 cents
