For those who have an aftermarket Y-pipe and a catback, how does it sound from the inside and outside?

I now have a Warpspeed Aluminized MB Y-pipe with an Apex'i catback. To be honest it is a lot louder than I expected. I had the two components installed on different days, the catback first, then the y-pipe the next day. I must say, the Y-pipe adds a lot more sound and makes the overall exhuast note louder and deeper (and a little bit gurgly).

I'm just interested to find out how others compare to my setup. I'm very happy with mine but it still can get a bit loud on the local streets. I find myself being a little careful when I pass by cops. On the plus side, WOT is awesome, it seems like there is some kind of delayed effect created by the exhuast when I get off throttle for a split second to shift. It sounds like a deep shockwave or something

Anyway, thanks for any input.

 

i have a greddy catback with a place racing cai. and my car sounds stock unless i'm at 5000+rpm then it roars. i took off my cat and its still not loud at all. my y-pipe should be comin tomorrow hopefully thatll give me some noise.

 

Im running a budget Y and dynomax dual exhuast and its pretty damn quiet around town, a nice low, deep tone. But when i get on it, it screams and gets loud, just like i like.

what i love most is the lack of drone at highway speed, barely louder than stock @60 mph....

I don't get drone @60, but 60 is very, very slow in California. Normal highway speeds here are on average around 70. I get a barely audiable drone at that speed.
