If that's all you're looking for, have you removed the rear resonators yet? I like the system you have on now. It looks much cleaner IMO.

If I were you, I would keep the one you have, look a lot nicer.
If you are looking for louder sound, like everybody said, just delete resonaters.
Do you have a 300? get a set of header then.

I have the hyper and its not too loud. I haven't compared it to the touring so I would know how much louder it would actually be.

IMO you'd be downgrading if you went from TM to HM. Just get headers, intake, and a straight pipe if you want more noise
