Maybe Jordo is correct and i should give him a break - but why would i spend more money on something i don't need if the cheaper one fulfils my criteria just because the more expensive one is better value for money. Exhausts are all depreciating items and your never going to get your money back on items like this come resale time. Its better to lose half the money is it not, as long as your happy?? Glad you like the system!

Did someone say that 97db is twice as loud as 94?
The biggest overall sound change will come from replacing the cats -- anything non-resonated that replaces the OEM cats will be raspy as hell around 2500 RPM.

Changing the mufler section will affect overall tone and volume, but the change shouldn't be drastic.

As for power, other than the factory cats, the major gains, I believe, are due to swapping out the Y pipe.

Again, buy whatever you want -- I just wanted to give you a heads up that you can track down a rear muffler section that will probably sound exactly the same for a lot less. That said, if you really want the RD mufflers in particualr and have the cash, by all means, go for it.
