my car is very quiet through the exhaust, I mean its still louder than any stock car on the market but its quieter than 90% of the pickups around here with aftermarket exhaust

very deep and throaty, great tone, no drone, and it lets you know its there at WOT but still not obnoxious

dunno about power loss, but I can't tell the difference on the butt dyno between exhaust closed or cutouts open...even with 2.25" exhaust

mufflers are Flowtech Terminators, I can try to get a video soon if you're really interested

Depends on which cat. Magnaflow 59959 cats are known NOT to quiet down the exhaust.

Great muffler. I had one of those dumped right after the Y-pipe.

It was quiet and made more power than the cutout.
