Don't want too much obnoxious sound but like the idea of reducing weight from losing the stock muffler. Did you get the non-offset version?
I went with this from a muffler delete (single tip, custom from a local muffler shop). I really liked it at first, totally sounds racecar! But when starting up in the morning, the fast idle is WAY too loud for my quiet neighborhood. Nobody complained, but I felt like I was being an ass. Part throttle or when lifting off the pedal, there was too much drone. I feel like it'd go well with a turbo (helps change the sound) but for NA it was a little too nasty.

Bear in mind, this is coming from someone with an old Mustang that is notorious for setting off car alarms. It's just that if it's going to be THIS loud, it needs to actually be able to accelerate. Making all that noise and not really going anywhere just seemed stupid. I'll keep the delete for some future track days or something.

The guy who sold me the Nameless gave me a ride while it was still installed and it sounded even better in his car than mine. The reason: he has the Injen intake. Very nice combination there. Not obnoxious during tame driving but it's deep and loud enough when you romp on it.

Edit: oh yeah, this is the non-offset style. Anyone who thinks this is too loud is like 90 yrs old.
