if I had to guess i would say it will get about 15-20% louder. i have heard them with Magnaflow that i thought were just too damn loud. but it sounds like it should. header test pipe and cat back - the Res, is the way to go IMHO. just rember to drop in that MIL.
good luck and let us know how it goes.
P.S did i mention I have Axel back for sale??????? lmao.

You think the magnaflow is too loud???

I though it was the least loud out of the greedy, buschur and magnaflow. Oh well my magnaflow sounds sweet with the test pipe in.

my exhaust sounded like **** with the test pipe and header, made a ricey sound in the 4500 + rpm's. and now the test pipe is out, it only makes it at like 5500rpm's +.

But i just found i have a leak with my gasket so i have to replace it, so maybe that will help the sound too.

Just if u dont like it loud or the least bit ricey dont get the test pipe and the header combo. The header itself will make it loud enough without sounding stupid or civic-y Also - i did not notice any gain from the test pipe, so i would just leave the 2nd cat or get a hi-flow at most.
