I hate to be a downer, I thougt it sounded horrible. It's way too raspy and the drone is probably worst in person. It's more Honda Civic with a busted

It is indeed raspy as hell, and that's how I feel; I'm on that divide between thinking it's just fart can instead of race exhaust.

I think you'll just eliminate way too much backpressure. You'll have to find a way to do that properly, not to mention that much noise is pretty questionable in terms of "legality."
