I'm interested to hear what this will sound like... My headers through the stock ZHP exhaust sound really good but just a tad too quiet

Thought I'd come back and update the thread. As a couple of you know, I made a mistake and ended up with something I really disliked. A local trusted shop that does work on BMW's steered me toward a "cherry bomb" style resonator. It sounded horrible. It wasn't the overall volume I hated, but the character of the sound. It sounded "pipey" - like when pick up a cardboard tube and imitate a Honda through it. So, I ordered a Vibrant, which is what I should have done in the first place.
Fast forward a couple of weeks. I finally got the car into a local "Master Muffler". I went with them because they were conveniently located, because the owner was cool and actually works on the cars, I saw "keeper" types of cars in the shop, and because the shop was neat and clean. So, I dropped it off yesterday morning and picked it up about three hours later. Wow, what a difference. I can't say how much louder than stock it is because it's been a few months since I had the stock muffler on, but it sounds really great. Very happy.
I also love the look. The black outlets looks great with the ZHP diffuser and Shadowline trim.
Win!
Thanks for the help and heads-up on the Vibrant!!!
Cheers,
