I think you have the right idea , it's my daily car so I can't go too loud .Yeah ive got two small free flow silencers instead of the cats and then the centre silncer. Outside the car its still loud and in my opinion the tone is almost spot on. But once you close the windows and cruising on the highway with some music you have to listen carefully to hear the exhuast.
Unbolt your exhuast just after the Y pipe and have a listen, that will probably be roughly what a straight pipe will sound like. Ive done this and its very loud, to the point where i want to stick my fingers in me ears if you just tap the throttle while standing outside the car.
