Default Just installed the Pypes mid muffler catback

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know I just got the Pypes mid muffler catback installed on the 06 gt. It isn quite as loud as I was expecting/hoping, but it still sounds great. At idle, its slightly louder but what is really noticeable is how deep and throaty the sound is. From inside with the windows up, it sounds almost the same as before, but when you rev it up its definitely a lot louder while still maintaining the deep sound. Oh yeah, everything else exhaust wise is stock on the car and I do have a k&n intake on it also.
Overall I'm very happy with it, especially paying $470 total for the catback ($370), free shipping from AM, and the $100 installation at Midas.

But it still keeps the low roar at lower rpm's then more or less screams at the top? I really love the low roar with just the catback but I also want the scream towards redline. I dont know if thats too much to ask for haha. I was thinking about either going high flow cats or just different headers next.
