Trying it to see if too noisy

So far no louder than my 64 Malibu with 30" glass packs.

Yes, I also love to accelerate full throttle in an underpass to listen to the echo.
Time will tell if there is "drone" noise at cruising speeds. The 2004 SSR with a Magnaflow does "drone" at 55 to 60 mph under load (in OD) more rpms cures it.
MUST DRIVE FASTER!! LOL

There is some drone at around 70mph, but its not too bad. You can play around with the RPMs like you said or turn up the radio

Muffler back

Muffler back, Too loud under load, Drones until downshift. Small muffler toned it down and now has a more mellow sound.
