[QUOTE=HuskyOwner;5377825]Thanks! It's got a deep tone to it, and is definitely louder, but nowhere close to obnoxious. It also has absolutely no drone to it. One of the other guys on the forum did it with I believe a 16" or 18" thrush, but I wanted it louder so I went with the 12". I'm a big glass pack fan, ran true dual straits with this same muffler on my '07.

Always in the market for some exhaust notes!

Trouble is, it's 2.5" tubing from the engine head pipes' Y-collector (which has a 3" exit) to the rear axle, where it goes to 3" again... so I think I'm going to find a 16" long, 3" in/out stainless perf-core resonator (Walker/Tenneco used to sell one) and 3" diameter tubing to replace the 2.5" tubing after the Y-collector.
I like the idle and part-throttle sound of my existing setup, but at WOT it doesn't sound good due to the 2.5" restriction. At WOT here's the *FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT* of a restricted 385HP that's as loud as the 8 cylinder note I should be hearing exclusively...

Some setups will drone. Some won't. Corsa will not drone, but some, like me, do not care for the sound. Borla will not drone, but again, I don't care for the sound. Magnaflow will not drone, and I really like the sound. Nice gentle purr at idle, step on the accelerator and she opens up nicely with an even attention grabbing throaty sound.
Point being everybody has their own preferences. What I like, the next guy may think stinks. One thing I strongly urge is that you go stainless steel. Longevity will be better by a long shot.

That's Mr. Tippy to you.
Magnaflow catback. Great "growl" on start up. Doesn't have a drone, but a heart growl when I stomp on it. Makes the 5.0 that much better to listen to, especially when I'm passing another car, but not obnoxiously.
