I got this done a few weeks ago for $50. When the car is running it just makes a gurdling sound, I wish I could say somewhat like a V8 but unfortunately not quite tough enough. The sound disappears after a couple thousand rpm and it isnt noticeable at 40Km/h+ unless youve got all your windows down. Ive found that my dodgy and corroded cat-back makes more of a sound when giving it a thrashing.
The person who carried out the work mentioned that it was illegal in NSW not to have a rear muffler attached so if your in that area heads up and get that checked out.
Feel free to correct me on anything if im wrong.

They supplied and fitted a 2" pipe and bent it to shape then welded the tip on the end. Im pretty sure its the same as the standard piping already used in the system and even thinner than that of a street sign post. I dont think that pole has any chance of warping but dont take my word for it. The only problem you would have is fitting it, unless youve got a welder, some sort of hoist, skills and serious spare time I dont think its worth the effort of attempting it. PM if you want a picture.
