Take the rear section of your exhaust out, then tell me it sounds horrible. It will be quieter and smoother with an x pipe. I have the magnaflow on now and it seems to muffle out all those beutiful burps and pops that I love. It's the closest I've ever heard a v6 come to a v8. It has a very deep sound even with no mufflers. Remember there ARE 4 cats on this car and they mellow and quiet it down substantially.
