Well here is the turn out of the combination of:

Pacesetter headers
2.5" mag cat
18" vibrant resonator
2.5" Vibrant muffler
and all 2.5" piping

Personally I think its too loud for my taste especially at high rpm, calling all cops!!,...and I think im gonna change my muffler to a Dynomax Super turbo for a quieter sound...ill deal with this tone for the time being but hopefully In a couple of weeks i can get it change out

[UPDATE]:
Okay I ditched the 18" reso and put on the vibrant ultra quiet resonator and it made a big difference...it took alot of the rasp out so now its a smoother mellow tone which is not loud until higher RPMs and even then the rice factor of the sounds is low...Im more happy..have a listen with this updated sound clip. Can you tell the difference?

Ya I suggested the Dynomax, I'm hoping that makes it quiet and non-raspy, since your exhaust setup is nearly identical to what I planned on doing.

It's not that bad, but the super turbo would quiet it down quite a bit. A friend of mine has 2 HO Quads, both with super turbos. Even the magnaflow would sound better, Oldsman's sounds nice.

Ok before I decide to change the muffler im gonna go ahead and try to squeeze another reso under there to hopefully eliminate some of the rasp matter of fact i might have enough room to install vibrant ultra quiet reso...i need to measure it but if I do ill go that route first

nope I decided i should stay with the str8t thru design so I went with the vibrant ultra quiet resonator to see if that made a difference...it really cleared up the raspyiness..well the majority of it
