Default FR500S, KR, (M-5230-S) Mufflers on a Daily Driver?

I am considering getting these mufflers, they are fairly cheap at:
http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/pr...id=668cPath=85

$499 free ship

but the only concern is that my car is a daily driver, mostly city driving. I average 5-10 miles a day, and on weekends highway for about 40 miles. does anyone have these on their car? if so how is the drone and would you consider them too obnoxious for a DD?

I know of all the other exhausts out there (stingers, bassani, ect) but im sticking with FRPP. The main reason why, is because of the tips, to me they look sweet, and they will hopefully be a little louder.

If i do get them my FRPP Bulitts will be up for sale, 2k or less miles.

I have them on my GT500, they are loud at WOT, and let a out a good roar at start-up and acceleration, but otherwise they are pretty quiet in the cabin during cruise. The 500 is not my DD, but the exhaust note would not discourage me from using it as a DD. Don't know what they sound like in a GT though.

Here's a link to an install thread that I posted on another site:

im almost positive they are different inside the muffler itself. but the resonator tips probably deaden the sound a little.

The tips are the same as those used on the Bulllit mufflers you have.
