I know you said not too loud, but I have mine chopped off and I like it pretty well. The farther back you cut, the 'quieter' it gets. Mine is cut below the driver's seat, but I bet if you did it behind the rear axle it wouldn't be too bad. Relatively free and easy mod. Makes highway driving a little better, too. Otherwise, I would say throw a Flowmaster on it or the like.

Look to a system that keeps the muffler in the stock location, this will keep it the "quietest"

I was assuming it would get louder.
A bit louder but nothing too bad. I sent you the P/N right?

YUUPPPP! Also reuse the same clamp.

I've been enjoying the corsa db, sounds good, not loud, has a cool gurgle. Tucks up higher than stock and is lighter too. Some drone in the cabin at lower speeds but not do much at highway speeds.

Try to find 2.5" O.D., it will slide (kinda) right over the existing pipe and then you can clamp it there. Also, this will make it quieter in the cab, but louder for everyone else.
