Do you have an exhaust leak somewhere CovertRussian, it kinda sounds like it? Also does the tip of the muffler extend out from under the car? If not it can make some cabin drone.

I like coach's idea, that will make a big difference. And keep in mind the stock muffler only makes a 3-4hp difference with some bolt-ons,that is if you ever come across someone selling/throwing away the stock stuff.

Wow mine is just a $29 Cherry bomb from autozone...

Do you have a resonator?

Well with the catback system I felt the car gain some horses/torque. Plus free flowing is what all kids are doing

brent

It's a little too short, so I'm sure that contributes quite a bit...

Here is a pick of the resonator, I had to shorten it to fit the 99 cat...

I wanted to actually use the stock muffler, but it was thrown out, so never mind to that haha. I might be able to still get one but I don't think it's worth it considering how restrictive it most likely is.

The tip is sticking out a bit, I guess it could stick out a bit more...

Yesterday I read on SE-R.net that people also use Dynomat or something similar to block off the sound, I might just do that, but it adds a bit of weight.. 5lbs a square foot..

I saw some videos of it and it wasn't all that quite, but maybe there were some other issues...

I'll try to get a video clip of a Borla for ya. I love it because it's not raspy AT ALL and it doesn't drone out on the highway. You can barely hear it idling when warmed up. It's QUIET. Ib4E except after C!
