def not stock sounding. stillen with the HFC, is LOUD. loud enough to be heard getting on the freeway from my house (about 1.5 miles away). fairly quite when you need it, and screams at WOT>

Fric, if you like the "cackle" and the loud "racerboy" sound, rather than the muffled, "fart can rice rocket" sound, I strongly advise unbolting the rear exhaust section just to check out the sound. It's pretty loud, but oh so sweet. That sound is just 10 minutes of labor and 4 bolts away. I drove it around town for a week that way. I was never afraid of the police or embarrassed because it was obnoxiously loud. It did "drone" quite a bit though. If you like it, you could get a shop to chop up your rear section, remove the mufflers and re-use the chrome tips for probably under $100. It seemed like it did gain some power on the top end, too.
