I like the way flowmaster's sound, but their flow testing leaves something to be desired. However, hopefully their race mufflers (as used in that video) would focus more on flow. And being single-chamber instead of three chamber, its a good possibility that they'll flow as much as I need (about 400 cfm per side, out of ~525 possible for a 2.5 inch straight pipe).

That is what I figured on the V6 / V8 and had I wanted true V8 sound I would have just bought the V8, if anything it might be nice to have a little more but it is nothing but a nice to have for me.

When I get home I will get the link to the one I likle the best, and with all due respect to scrming who knows more about exhaust systems than I will ever know or even want to know, I did not care for the sound at all except at idle, way too raspy through the mid-range and again at the high end. Not sure of raspy is the right term, but fake, forced, like that Honda's all sound around where I live.

I think when it comes to sound it really is a matter of personal taste, so there is no "right" or "wrong" just stuff you like and don't like. There was one in that all-in-one exhaust thread that came sort of close to something I would consider, but nothing enough to get me to do it, if that is the best I can expect then I will just be happy with stock.
