Need tips for M2

Hello everyone, I've been this forum for more than a year, but never introduced myself. My name is johnny, live in north San Diego county. I got a lot of ideas and helps form our site, thanks to you guys.
I finally put my trigger on M2 exhaust, I heard a lot of positive reviews on that exhaust, and I also heard it is "too loud" to many people, I personally don't like exhaust to be "too loud", so any tips for that? or any other tips before I buy it?
Just want to make sure I'm looking at the right one, so here is the ebay link.

Thanks for your input.

well, a lot of other people who've bought HKS replica's in the past have swapped out the H-pipe for a resonated x-pipe. tone's the noise down a lot and leave's a much cleaner and deeper tone. is your heart set on this setup and budget?

nah, they replace the provided H-pipe with an X-pipe. if you are really concerned about sound as much as you say you are, i would hold off until i heard the setup in person. there are plenty of meets out here where you could get a sample. if i where you though, i'd just have a custom one made a local muffler shop and use components that i know would keep the "noise" down.
