Default Exhaust Question?

I want to get a new exhaust for my tc, but the problem is I want to hear what the car sounds like in person before I buy one. The sound clips and video clips can be misleading. I live in the Charlotte area and i am wondering if anyone would wanna meet up sometime and let me hear your exhaust so I can make a well educated desicion on the exhaust I choose to buy. Any help would be well appricated.

Thanks,
Mike

Its full cat back and bolt on. It goes on right after the main cat or the "second cat" in the exhaust system. I like it, since it's bolt on, it has 2 exhaust leaks but I'm gonna have them welded. However, gonna install my header first and get a resonator before I have them weld it up. No I won't be at the meet Sunday. I live in Las Vegas, however my home is Greenville, SC

Hope these give you an idea. I know there's not sound but I never got a chance to get a sound clip of it yet, however here's Magnaflow's tC http://www.magnaflow.com/04sound/sportsound/05tc.html

Go out and find a person with an HKS hi-power. Trust me. You'll be sold. No one else has the growl that the hi-power canister makes.

the HKS sounds great in soundclips, but I have yet to find someone who has had one so I could hear in person.

The magnaflow exhaust sounds good also from the videos, but I also want to hear that in person also.
