Message	I simply replaced OEM mufflers with straight-thru dual-tip style (just like B&B) on a totally stock NA exhaust with everything still inplace.....droned like CRAZY. The resonance in the cabin was so bad the OEM cd player couldnt handle it between 2700-3200 rpms and would skip EVERY single time. Oh and guess where cruising rpms are on the highway at 60mph, and on the road at 25 and 45 mph.... The stock exhaust is pathetic looking, but I'd go with something else if noise is of any concern at all for you. B&B is a pretty penny to drop for good looks and equally annoying noise.
