Yeah that sounds just like my Toyota did. Pretty raspy.
I hate to go with a stock muffler and loose performance. I'm buying a header for it and like I said, 2.25" pipe. I wonder if I put a high flow cat on it and a three chamber Flowmaster how it would sound.

Do they make sound reducers that are not too restrictive that go in front of your muffler?

There is a WRX running around here local with a muffler on it that sounds like a v8. I'd like to know what his set up is.
