MAC vs. Stock sound?

Looking at replacements which aren't noisy. It appears that the MAC 4-1 is the only one available. How much noisier than stock is it?
The other alternative is to find generic mufflers and bolt on to the existing headers.
Thoughts?

Well, It will be noisier than stock. Can't say how much, but it will be. I have a Kerker and love the 4/1 sound. You will need to rejet also. Have you checked ebay?
When replacing the exhaust with aftermarket parts, how do you know which jets to get for the rejet?

A free flowing aftermarket exhaust will flow more and your engine will need more fuel, so you go up to larger jet sizes. 1 or 2 steps on the main is a good start. Then you start reading your plugs and fine tune it from there.

It is not particularly louder, but it sounds like crap compared to stock. Think of an AMC pacer with a hole in the muffler. It's a farty and raw sound compared to the smooth and low roar from the stock pipes.
