Not sure if you've ever bothered listening to mine in the afternoon traffic, mine has a cp-e downpipe, 3" SS mandrel piping into a magnaflow straight through muffler which then tapers down to the stock 2.5 rear muffler & tailpipe, it has a nice cabin note, and is very tolerable with minimal drone.
Apparently it sounds really good from the outside, but I never really get the chance to hear it.
Im not too familiar with the layout of the gen 2 exhaust though
@MattMPS3 If you don't mind me asking, how much did your exhaust set up cost you? Looking to do something similar. Only really want the sound of the Magnaflow muffler so if I can keep cutting/replacing the stock exhaust to a minimum then that would be sweet. Do you know if it's possible just to have the Magnaflow muffler whilst keeping the rest of the stock cat back as is? Cheers!
