This seems like it will actually be better than the last exhaust clip thread. Solid idea!

Mine is a simply muffler delete, cut the muffler out and weld a straight pipe in it's place. It's loud enough. I added a ricer tip that was taken out after a while.

ya know... that's not at all as bad sounding as I feared it would be... I still want UELs for my Brighton, but maybe... they're not as vital to the sound as I thought. I mean, it lacks the rumble of the UELs, but it's not as tinny and irritating as the same setup on an I4 engine.

I ran my stock el headers for a while Muse and it really wasn't to bad. I hated it above 4k though. Very I4ish. That was back when I ran stock kittys and that was it though lol. If it had a resonator and a muffler then it would be fine imo.
My current exhaust set up.
Uel Knockoffs
Stock cats
Stock mid-pipe
$0 got the headers of a car Chad and I split.
Its loud and people ask if I am turbo swapped. Got a 2 thumbs up from an STi the other day.
Actually, I've got UELs swapped in now. But between the rest of the exhaust being stock, and all of my heat shields rattling like Marley's chains in A Christmas Carol, I can't hear them at all.
