Yeah if decibels are what you're after, then have at it. But I doubt your exhaust note will be music. However, you might as well post some clips anyway if you have a camera.
Sorry to be the troll...

Like most have said, pretty loud, but they actually have a nice throaty sound. One of my friends had the same thing and it sounded nice, loud, but nice. So crank the stereo 'cause it's gonna sound drone after a while.

Most any exhuast will sound sound nice and smooth with a stock y. If you can post a video clip in the sticky. The Megan clip in there is from a stock-y car and it sounds silent, which would not be the case for most of us.

alright so i just got back from work so it was my first real drive with it and it sounds awesome. its a very deep mellow tone up to about 3000rpm then my HAI intake becomes louder than the exhaust. and at WOT its basically the same story.
there is a mild clunking where the midpipe to axleback flange is, i was wondering if anyone had suggestions on what to put on the flange so it wouldnt clunk. i was thinking some exhaust wrap, any ideas?
fastest ive taken it so far is about 70 and it sounds great, its a little droney around 55-60 but then past that you cant really hear it. definatley reccommend it for tuners on a budget.
so onto the tip with. it looks fine IMO. it perfectly fits the exhaust cutout on the bumper and sits flat with the back bumper. so im very pleased and recommend it.
ill post pics and vids as soon as it gets dry. still gotta hear how it sounds with the silencer in the exhaust.

yeah that actually does look pretty "in place" nothing too gawdy. i just REALLY hate the look of fart cannons and extremely oversized exhaust tips, they just look rediculous to me

so i just put the silencer into the muffler and it sounds the exact same as the stock exhaust, just a little bit deeper.
does any one have ideas for stopping the flange from hitting the underside of the car. its the flange that connects the midpipe and muffler.
hopefully ill get some vids and pics up by friday...

i have to go under and check it out soon to bang it around, its parked outside and i dont feel like getting soaked lying on the pavement. but from when i installed it it was looking really close to hitting the actual underside of the car directly above the rear axle i was thinking if i might be able to tighten the connection of the midpipe to the hanger, or the muffler to the hanger it should hold the midpipe better. so what your suggesting fr33way might work...
again pictures and videos as soon as i get my *** in gear.

it's LOUD with a y-pipe, so loud that i picked up a stock muffler to put on there. i still have the axle back to put on when i feel like setting off alarms but since its my daily ( i drive about 70 miles a day) i have the stock muffler on. it's not bad with the silencer on just make sure you get that thing on there tight cuz i lost the first one. lol.
enjoy.
