cats welded in the y pipe will quiet down a good amount and will clean up the sound alot. if still too loud can put a bullet in the i pipe or a magnaflow muffler or something.

I agree.. The Aerochamber is supposed to be one of the best flowing mufflers also..

My buddy has the Hooker CB with CME on his 02.. Actually sounds pretty good.. It's quiet enough for a longer drive and you can talk normally to you passenger and not have to yell, but can get some volume up top. he's running an MS4 also.
