Haha! I know the scream technique well. As long as you're squealing, you're OK.

like cruising it's almost near stock which i don't like at all and around 3-4k rpms it picks up in sound but not like uber loud like the spoon fit race car

Weird... again, I think the 50s v2 is pretty loud just w/ the b-pipe, and I'm pretty sure the N1 is louder. From 3500-6500, I can't even hear my stereo if I have it floored.
If I get a chance, I'll film a few runs to see how loud it is. I have a sound level meter too, so I might put that in my other thread. Mine is pretty much silent at cruising speeds/minimal load, but I prefer that since droning just gives me a headache.

Yeah, that'd be a big change.
I had one of the quieter exhausts on my WRX and STI (Genome muffler), so compared to that, the 50s v2 is definitely louder. Guess it's all relative!
The test pipe will likely make it damn loud, but it sounds like that's what you're going for. I say give it a shot if you don't mind the smell. I like the sweet smell of 91/93, but not so much with the 87.
