RB street port system: sound good?

On my current 12a i have the street port exhaust header, center section, and custom 2.5" overaxle into a 2.5" in dual 3" out straight through.

Its loud but sounds perfect. I have never gotten complaints, except from my parents. (no tickets)

On the gsl-se i'm looking at getting, i was wondering how aggressive the full street port exhaust system (with the power pulse muffler) was goign to be. Loud? Barely audible?

THe main thing is will it sound very agressive when i punch it, and will it be more restrictive than my previous custom muffler setup?

Thanks!

GEoff

I had that setup. GSL-SE Stree-ported engine, Headers collecting in the middle of the car, straight pipe, and Prima-Flow muffler.

IDLE: slightly louder than stock, deeper all around.
UNDER HARD ACCELERATION: Real Nice, Deep Growl, - Loud

Almost no restrictions, ran extremely nice.

EDIT:Another thread on this, a few lines away.

You really thought it was loud? I consider loud just a glass pack, maybe 2

    I put that system on my GSL-SE awhile back and love it.

    It is a bit louder than the stock system that was on it before, but not terribly. At idle it's not too bad, but it get's pretty loud pretty quick in the higher rpms...

    I did have a realization the other day. Does anyone else think there is a similiarity in sound to the 70's 911s? My boss has two, and I've determined that the RB system sound remarkably similiar. But maybe that's just me...
