I hear that. I had a '94 Camaro with 40 series Flowmasters on it when I was 18-19. Now that I'm 27 going on 28 I'd like something a little less obnoxious and something the wife won't b*tch about when she rides with.

A few days after the install my wife was riding with me(didn't know I had put the exhaust on) I asker her if she noticed anything different...she thought for a second and said..no lol. When I told her I had put the exhuast on she said "oh,it does sound good"...bt obviously it wasn't loud enough to annoy her as she didn't even notice until I mentioned it.

Just to make sure, this is the 16483 3" Competition series you're talking about right?

If so that sounds like exactly what I need. I eventually plan on getting LT headers and I don't want something that will get super loud when I put them on.
