I don't think the res is really there to keep the car dead silent... It simply get rid of some of the exahust drone that occours around 1900-2200 or 2300 rpms... I do not have this drone on the 95 at 2000-2300 or so rpms... With the 91 I have a more than noticeable drone at those RPM'*...
But If I ever get the Magnaflow Cat and Muffler installed I'll be interested in hearing what it sounds like with my L36 and the stock resonator...

I drove an 89 SSE( Don't ask ), had the Sporty exahust... I was supprised at how loud it was stock.. Grew on me in a fast way tho.. When I lived in the apartments the start up in the morning easily woke some neighbors...LMAO
But that clip of your exahust is noticeable.... I like it..
I'll be good as long as mine will be a tad quieter than what you have...

The flowmaster is a chambered muffler. Some magnaflows are hollow (or atleast you can see from end to end). A stock resonator does A LOT for these cars. How are your tips relative to the bumper? My interior noise doubles at a minimum if i just have my 90* bends with no tips on, which are not exiting after the bumper.
Resonated tips won't help, and might "rice" the noise as there'* no reverb happening after the "resonator".
Let it break in, it'* brand new, and they need to break in, and mellow out. Check your padding/carpet as mentioned. Give it 1000k miles before you make a decision, it needs to be heat cycled.

But you're totally right. Mine has gotten less raspy and more "burbly" in the 10 months it'* been on there. Give it some time; you'll start to love it.

i posted above that im starting to like it.
but yeah when i was atthe muffler shop they had some magnaflow and i could see right threw them except their was tiny holes and that lead to a padding or insulator.

1000k would be 1,000,000 miles.....
I was just giving you a hard time though.... no worries! I agree; there will come a day when you start to think, "Is my exhaust quieter than it used to be?" That'* the day you'll know you're totally used to it.
