I have the exact same exhaust as Darrell with a smaller turbo (S369SX-E with 73mm out vs 75mm PTE 7675). It's nearly as quiet as stock in the lower RPMs, and very pleasant to drive on the interstate with no drone. It's nice to be able to talk to a passenger! Yes it gets loud very quickly under WOT. The previous owner dumped the 3" with a glass pack under the passenger seat, and that was obnoxious.

On my previous N/A Mach 1 I had a catless prochamber with Flowmaster Force II, and the sound was just amazing. It did drone at highway speeds, though. I later went with MAC longtubes and prochamber with the same Flows, and wow it was really, really loud.
I miss the sound of the Flowmasters, but prefer to have the better flowing Magnaflows with a turbo.
