Exhaust too quiet
If you want more noise get the dp and testpipe from them and it will get loud and sound real nice. Lots of gains from doing so too.

I don't know if I have too high of expectations for sound/loudness (my last car was a 96 Mustang GT with catback and offroad H-pipe). What are everyone's thoughts on this?

^^ agreed . . . I've seen vids of just the cat-back. I just installed the full TBE w/ test pipe about a week or so ago. It's plenty loud enough for me and a good bit louder than just the cat-back. But it doesn't have the annoying (to me) higher pitched, raspy exhaust note you can easily get from an aftermarket exhaust on a low displacement motor.
I wish i had the funds for the rest of the exhaust, but that'll have to wait.
On a positive note, I forgot about the break in period on exhaust (<--- Thought this was a myth until I experienced it). I had the same problem with my Mustang. It didn't seem that loud at first, but after it broke in, it sounded alot better. After taking it out tonight for a few minutes of hard driving, the exhaust is already louder. It already sounds alot better now, can't wait for it to be completely broken in.

on my 03 i had at first just put a catback and it was really quiet, just a tiny bit louder than stock.
I removed the cat and put a downpipe on and that thing was extremely loud, like sti turbo back rumble noticeable.
while it was nice, sometimes annoying.
then I got cams etc, made 300+whp and it got even louder
