As far as the response about the noise level, take my advice, I had a full Alpine system installed and its absolutely great! I'll post some details on the Audio Video thread but they put a 12 inch sub where the spare goes, two amps in the well and a thin board to cover it all. Everything is Alpine and the weight was next to nothing. No exhaust out that can muffle 2 amps, a sub and all the speakers. (stock system was horrible)
I doesn't matter how loud any system is, if there's a constant drone (a "muffle") it will interfere will the bass frequencies. The louder the system the less noticeable it will be (as it's less of a percentage of your bass output), but it doesn't just disappear.

I have a full system in my 06 RSX-S hatch with LAYERS of deadening in the entire hatch, doors sealed, subsonic teklite, etc. When I go WOT to like 8600prms it's loud, but when I do that I don't PLAN on listening to music. On the highway at like 3.75k rpms the exhaust is quiet and doesn't interfere at all. My roommate has the same car + a Fujitsubo Powergetter exhaust and it def drones on the highway at higher rpms, enough where it would annoy me. I just want it to be loud when I push it. I guess I'll have to drive in one on the highway to find out myself.
