Stillen full catback exhaust or rear section only?

Bit confused about what to get with the Stillen exhaust, I've heard it in action before and it sounds great, though is it worth the extra $200 to get the intermediate section as well?

I understand the performance gains are minimal but whats the overall sound level like?

PS anyone know the weight of the rear section and also of the whole catback system.

If you have a y-pipe, it will have an annoying drone.

the Y-pipe will have better gains but sound really loud. i recomend a budget y-pipe because of the good price (warpspeed also is good). these will be loud but will net you the most HP of the bolt on mods for the cheapest (or i should say... most resonable) price.

the mufler willnot add much performance if at all to the setup, mabe 3HP or so.
the mufler is to quiet the exuast, and i recomend going with either a quiet mufler or the stock mufler, you will be much more happy (i think GREEDY or something by that name makes a performance mufler that is really quiet, so it has two benifits).

the stillin muffler is not cool, its loud. i recomend something quieter you will be much happier belive me!

the b-pipe comes before the mufler, and this will help more than the mufler, hell thats where the performance comes in :P the stillin b-pipe might be just fine, but its really not worth the price, get one that comes with the mufler in a package, do your research on the boards here go back alot of pages and fine some y-pipe and mufler pages, may take awhile, or donate 20$ and be able to search, you will find a good mufler thats quiet (stock one is best tho!)

Y-pipe adds about nothing in sound when used with a stock cat-back.

Thanks guys I already have a Y-pipe + intake so it sounds pretty good right now but all the noise is coming from the front.

My current mufflers nearly dead and its starting to make an annoying noise since someone decided to whack me in my rear bumper.

Should I just get a stock rear muffler?

try to find a stock rear muffler or a performance cat back that is quiet! (catback is a b-pipe and muffler).

enjoy, but keep in mind your looking for quiet.

If you have a y pipe already, its nearly impossible to put on a catback and have it be quiet without using the stock muffler. I would recommend something like a custom B and stock 2k1 muffler with a nice tip, i read this has a nice humm to it, but not annoying.
