I hope that will do the trick.



Yeah, but the thing to remember though, is that mufflers, and resonators will reduce the volume. However, that "fart tip" sound, comes directly from the exhaust TIP itself (regardless of what muffler you have). It's resonance that's created (started) by the CAI that travels all the way through the entire system intake to exhuast, and finally reverberates at the end (the tip). A lot of the people who race cars that would otherwise be fairly ricey sounding (like Miatas) go with supertrap exhuast tips. They are adjustable and kind of look like the things that trumpet players shove in the front of their trumpets.

However, I like stuff to look stock, which is why I did what I did. The dynomat on the inside of the exhuast lip really made the difference. If it's good enough for Porsche, it's good enough for my Solstice!
