If you read the entire thread, he is saying that he has brutal drone and that is what he is trying to get rid of. He hasn't put the VT muffler on yet.

 

I have a 22" Magnaflow, almost as quiet as stock, no drone, but cut an 18" section of the tailpipe off to prevent any drone that the muffler didn't take care of

 

If you want to stay under $400, I would source a muffler and have a shop build you a cat back system. Catalog cat backs seem to be very expensive. IMO they dont seem to be worth it. I paid around $400 for my true dual setup, thats all inclusive.

 

My exhaust setup cost me $525 with everything I listed in my previous post.

And with Corsa, Sport = loud, Touring = quieter; Sport seems to be a little too loud for most people's taste for a daily driver. But I have read in many places that Corsa + long tube headers = loud and raspy.

stock muffler with an electric cutout welded in. best of both worlds

 

that would let you be loud when it's play time, but quiet otherwise.
