one exhaust sytem I tried after installing my hi-flow cat was one single long glasspak inplace of the resonator (u-bend gone) and a pair of resonated tips.
this combo sounded awesome at idle or just barely breathing on the pedal but anything in the area of 2k rpm was rattling the windows in the car and shaking the fillings out of my teeth. Lets not even talk about a WOT blast, but fist shaking neighbors as well as mothers taking kids off the street might give you some idea...not to mention my vision going blurry from gritting my teeth so hard...maybe I should say gnashing instead of gritting.

Even if your the kind that digs a loud car (and I do love one that talks to me) a system like this will have you back at the exhaust shop in less than a month...save yourself the headache and have a little reserve the first time...these engines need a chambered muffler to make them bearable.

yea i know the exhaust would be reverberated back through the car didnt know it ending a couple inches before the rear bumper made it do it that much more....i know my cutout did if unbelievably but i thought the foam and plastic bumper wouldn't transmit that much drone good to know

Our cars? Go jump off a cliff. I made the mistake of taking a test drive of my car with just a glasspack on it down the road (first drive after swap). Not only did it sound horrible, I thought my head would explode.
Even the Sidepiped Cobras and Vettes have baffles in them, or are chambered

But even if it was a straight pipe custom setup it would sounds nasty...those baffles are more for people next to you driving rather then interior res. of the car its on

Well, videos of straight pipe setup are worthless, my phone's microphone didn't pick it up at all...

Suffice it to say others are correct, sounds very nice at startup, drones terribly at cruise (35, 45, 70+). Is fine coasting or going WOT in my opinion, but for DD on non-flat terrain, it gets very old...
