so loud you'll hate your car. the interior panels will vibrate and shake. and the paranoia will be so great you'd rather walk.
Sound is great but not throaty it's just loud .02

I have the Bassani cat back with Berk HFC's and I love it. No drone and you can keep it as quiet or loud as you want. Under 3k rpms it's barely there but get over 3500 and it starts to get nice.

Not the best bang for your buck though. If I remember back to when i got it, the exhaust was $850 and the cats were $350-4, so about $1200 all together. I have about 80k miles with it on and have I not had any issues at all.

As everybody mentioned above, until you get into headers and a tune, it's really about sound. Listen to everything you can and like Trav said don't cheap out, buy it right the first time and you will save $$ in the long run

exactly....

gemini - $920 or so, was on about year and half... sold for $550, tdx2 $1600 ish.

not saying i wasted the money for the gemini, but i should have just saved a bit longer for what i really wanted

I daily my car and I come from a city that can issue tickets if your car exceeds a certain decibel level but I do agree, not for the faint of heart

However, you don't need the $1600 full catback. The $950 muffler and mid pipe paired with oem y pipe will be good enough. Nor do you need to get test pipes. You could try pairing it with HFCs or even ART pipes. It would be much quieter and still within a reasonable budget
