so I initially had the Top Speed Pro 1 axleback installed on my car, and I loved the sound. These axlebacks are basically a muffler delete, as they look like they're simply straight pipes. I still wanted a setup that was just slightly louder so I installed some Megan Racing resonated test pipes, but now the car sounds insanely loud.

I love a loud exhaust but this setup just is over the top and now it sounds like I'm just basically screaming for attention. I was hoping the resonator would help deaden the sound to a higher degree.

With that being said, I'm thinking of installing maybe some Berk HFC instead (or any HFC?). I definitely want something louder than just the axle backs, but something quieter than the test pipes. Does anyone know if installing Berk HFC will deaden the sound over the Megan Racing resonated test pipes to a significant degree?

On paper, it should definitely be quieter, as the HFC will still have some air restriction vs. a straight pipe for a cat, but does anyone know if it will be a significant difference? Slight sound difference? No difference at all?

I just don't want to buy a HFC and pay for labour to install and it's still too loud.

Otherwise, would installing the OEM cats back on and maybe removing the resonators on the mid pipe produce the difference I'm looking for?

Any input is appreciated, thanks!
