The only way your going to find out if you don't like the over all sound of your system is to get the car up and running and take it for a spin. Loving your exhaust tone, notes and over all loudness is really up to the person driving it. Some guys like blonds, some guys like red heads.

I'm okay with a little more sound, provided it sounds like a car and not a cummins, ... and has a nice note without raspy tractor sounds, a resonator or non-baffled straight-through muffler can IMO sweeten the note without taking too much away. I've heard enough school-bus exhaust thank you.
I tried a straight-pipe on my first (Cat Powered) motorhome, too much snap, installed a 6" Walker Megaflow w/o baffles and got down to a nice note with a constant whistle which saved me from watching the boost gauge (the boost gauge is a good way to get good fuel mileage).
