My previous setup was Kooks 1 7/8" headers with cats and the Magnaflow regular x-pipe and stock 2.5" exhaust. The new set up has a slightly deeper tone and less rasp and is no louder (actually slightly quieter) which I measured using a decibel meter app.

This is something also to consider. Changing the run from the header to the stock mufflers with all 3" pipe. I wonder what that would sound like?
