I had the 05-07 2.5" MBRP hatch exhaust on my '07 ZX5 and it was good and loud... most likely because they deleted my 2nd cat when they did the install. Since then, I hear they refuse to delete the second cat for new installs... they'll insist that you delete it yourself.
Actually, I was the guy that they re-engineered the 05+ offerings on... my car was in Huntsville for most of a day while I wandered around taking pictures. :)
It's a great setup and given that I was running on an autotragic ZX5... I wouldn't have had it any other way. With the FS CAI and a XCal2 tune from Randy at FS, it was a strong little slushbox. My next idea was for a turbo, but fate had other ideas in mind for me.
I'd go 2.5 MBRP. :) Highway cruising was fine, passing was a tad loud, WOT was a bit silly, but you'd get by without tickets or earplugs.
