I've heard this quite a bit, but have also heard a number of members (couple quoted below) who love stock exhaust with UEL's. Have you heard an 86 with stock exhaust and a UEL?

Quiet when cruising with a noticeable but not loud rumble under acceleration. I now have an over pipe and a catted and resonated front pipe along with a Greddy SP Elite axleback. It still sounds great and while quieter than most setups, it's a little too loud for me but still not overly loud.

Based on what you two are saying I'm slightly leaning towards the UEL... How noticeable is the rumble? Is it a rumble more vibration through the chassis similar to motor mounts etc or is it more a change in the exhaust note? How much louder is it? I'm not looking for loud/drone, but I want the increase in sound to be noticeable under load. Do low/high revs make much of a difference?
Thank you again for all of the help!
