Yeah I'm giving it a couple of weeks to quieten down a little......I'm getting used to it, still think it's a little loud.....don't want to be too 'try-hard'.....it's not like it's a 10 second car!!!!
Since that vid was taken (a couple of hours after I got the car home from the exhaust shop), it has already seemed to settle down a little bit.....here's hoping it becomes a little more muffled in the coming week!!! It seems to be louder when you start it first thing in the morning, as opposed to after having driven around for a while - any reason for this??? If I did want to quieten it down a little, would I need to change the muffler?? Or is there anything I could add to it (hotdog, resonator) to go with what it already has??

Dave, I have a hotdog, straight thru offset glass pack muffler, and a rear resit on my car, and its ever so quiet. Not as quiet as stock, but still very stealthy as far as sound is concerned.
If you want to quieten it down more, you can opt for a hot dog between the cat and muffler.
