Yep, I would stick with this indefinitely except for the drone range of 3800-5000 RPM. It's interesting...with the purely stock exhaust, I had a lead foot and routinely wound it out to 5k to enjoy SOME exhaust sound. I rarely went above 5k due to the harshness. Now with the muffler delete, I either drive around conservatively below 3500rpm max (which sounds great up to there), or go balls to the wall to get in the heavenly 5000+ RPM range which gets very sweet sounding again. The 3800-5000 range though, nails on a chalk board for me.

I have my eye on the Berk CBE which I think is going to be the middle ground that maintains the deep rumble.
