Default CME set up vs straight tips

Would the sound be different with the exhaust going through the CME setup vs just a set of tips like the dual/ dual tips? IF so how would the sound differ?

The muffler would make the biggest difference but it might be slightly quieter due to the smaller piping and more bends in the exhaust. Probably not really noticable though.

From the D/D the CME is just slightly louder and deeper. I was able to hear a D/D and a CME side by side at the dealer when I ordered my '02.

I swapped in a Corsa muffler in place of my original Dual Dual muffler. My setup is deeper sounding than any other Corsa setup i've heard in person. My 3" cutout is only good for 4rwhp @ 5rwtq than the Corsa @ CME tips.

Do you have a sound clip? I got rid of my corsa b/c the rasp was just to bad. I am thinking of going with something like the borla mouth. I like the hooker but I just do think it will be loud enough for me.
