The fact that the exhaust adds little to no power is also difficult to get past, though that's more a result of the OEM system being so well-engineered. Other exhausts won't add much power either.

I don't want to sound like I'm being negative because it looks like you're really happy and that's awesome and all that matters, I just wanted to put in my 2 cents. Maybe I'm trying to make sense of it and if you've got the money to drop on something like the Akra system, then that's awesome, but I still have a hard time getting it up to spend that much.

Enjoy though and thanks for sharing your experience with the product!
For a better sound, drop a bit less on just a muffler. You wont save wait, it won't be so well made, it will still be expensive, but atleast its not ridiculously expensive..I had an eisenmann race, as a muffler it made the car unbearable loud, driving through dtown vancouver turned a lot of heads. but as a daily driver, it ruined the car! so i took it off. check out the remus muffler..
