It will sound nice if you do it right. Get bigger piping from the cat like 2-1/2", then get a performance resonator. You should get a nice deep tone and it wont sound all raspy. A good muffler shop should know what to do in this type of situation.

lol five bucks? I'm surprised it doesn't sound any different.. definitely looks a lot nicer. you could change your mid resonator to an aftermarket one and it should sound louder if that's what you want. and/or intake if you don't already have

Definitely looks good, and ditto what those guys said above - larger piping from cat to muffler and either high-flow resonator or delete the stock one (I wouldn't recommend that), and you'll have a nice tone to go with the look.
