Hilarious thread. Did you think no restriction at all on a big 3 inch single exhaust would be quiet lol. Instead of putting the stock cats back in I would try getting a motordyne VQ exhaust or similar to take the least hit in performance, car would probly sound like sex too.

sounds like a catless 3".... Maybe a little worse. I think the fact its an auto kinda kills it a little bit. If it were manual I think you would think it sounded "better" at full throttle and not great under 4k rpm.

My last car had I/H/E and sounded like a small airplane taking off every time I drove to the point where I hated to go anywhere, I ended up having a muffler welded in where the resonator was (to remove the drone) and I bought the silencers for my exhaust, afterwards the car sounded quiet as stock but moved much faster. I'm sure for you the point of getting an aftermarket exhaust was to be able to hear it, but a muffler may calm it down enough to sound reasonable.

I know I DON'T want the rasp, nor do I want super loud. Don't get me wrong, I want to hear the car and want it to sound a lil mean, but I don't want everyone looking at me like "WTF is with this guy"...heh...

wow... that was one loud Z. If you want performance and a great sound check out AAM. Im running their test pipes, y-pipe, and their single exhaust on my 07. I gotta say for a daily driver this set up is low on rasp but the drone is killer. I had to go back and get the silencer and it works perfectly. I love the way it sounds.

Just roll up your windows.
Seriously, that did sound really bad (ie: RICE). I agree with what some of the others have said, kick the test pipes to the curb. When I put mine on, the sound of my car was bad too but not as bad as yours ( no offense ).
