Anyone only do Dinan Axleback?

My system is stock and I am contemplating only doing the Dinan Axleback and nothing else. I am not out for sound as anything you would be able to hear with the windows closed due to insulation, would probably be in my category of obnoxious. My motivation is mainly for the double tips, but I am wondering if the sound would be tastefully changed or noticeable from outside the car with just doing the axleback only?

Anyone do only this that can share experiences?

It's a great option for daily drivers looking for a mild increase over stock.

You can also add more tone by pairing it with a downpipe, but i would first start with the axle back and decide on the downpipe later

That looks nice but I don't think you read what my priorities are and aren't.

Thanks, shipping included and do you charge sales tax? Most important, in stock and ready to ship or do you rely on Dinan to drop ship it?

You can go to any muffler shop and have them put new tips on of your choosing. It's a whole lot cheaper than buying an axle back if you're only concern is appearance.

FWIU, this is no small task and not many people have had this done successfully where they sit correctly. Many shops won't touch this.
