Default Cut off my tips

The exhaust (catback) on my car when I bought it was a Flowmaster. Never liked the look of the way the tips were. Since then I have put on LT's and ORY. Got some rasp so put a Powerstick muffler in the I pipe which took care of the rasp. Yesterday I cut off the tips and replaced them with some 3" turndowns from Jegs. Really like the looks, but got some added benefits. Made the exhaust sound much deeper in tone. Like it way more than the old sound.

I'm interested in how it sounds. Also interested to know how much HP your putting to the wheels with the setup in your sig.
