I feel the same way about my Thermal " stealth "... it gets a little old and tiring sometimes... the sound can get on my nerves on long car trips or in the summer when I have the windows down and the roof open.
Only reason I ditched my oem is I backed into a high curb at like 2MPH and the exhaust broke right at the muffler... no damage to my car besides that. The rest of the exhaust was rusted, I couldn't just replace the muffler.. the honda dealer wanted more for a mild steel oem full cat back than the Thermal in stainless... go figure.. and guess what he had in stock
Like you, i3luemrld, It's hard to consider ditching it because it still works and looks fine... 1/2 the people I meet like it maybe a 1/4 don't and the rest could care less.
Quieter and Deeper is better in my book and those twin outlets look cool but not like coffee cans and closer to stock enough not to get too much attention and still look sweet.
I would have gone with the 3" just because i'm trying more for stealth than bling.
Let me know how you like it.
