this has been gone over many times.....but it would be ridiculously loud and annoying, it wouldnt sound good at all. If you're gonna go custom from hte catback, get 2.25" piping, a nice long resonator (Magnaflow makes a good one) and then a name-brand quality muffler, again, Magnaflow makes a nice one. So does Apexi, GReddy, DC, and Netami makes awesome twin-loop mufflers. You'll get a nice sound and added performance. Straights pipes are a horrible idea though [:'(]
