Got exhaust installed

Well today after work I stopped by the muffler shop and decided to get it done. I had everything removed. Ran new 2.5 inch piping from cat all the way to muffler(HKS TI carbon). I ran it down the left side and cocked to the left and up a lil bit. First impressions: I really like the sound since b4 all you could hear was the engine and really no exhaust. Second thing I notice was maybe a bit decrease in low end power, maybe I should have went with 2.25?? But it seemed like it had better top end power when I took it on the interstate. I think later on I am going to buy that same muffler again only buy the bigger one that has a larger tip because it seems like it would look better with a fatter muffler. I just took some pics and will put them up as soon as I can.
BTW: I kept my stock mufflers if anyone is interested in them.

Anybody agree with me that it might look better with a bigger muffler/tip?

See it is not small muffler, but I think since the rear is pretty large, it makes it looks small. Not a big concern for me right now but maybe around christmas I will get a bigger one.

The exhaust is the hotness man!!! I love the HKS Carbon-Ti mufflers. But not to sound like a hater or anything, but what's up with the install. The way the canister and the tip look from the rear looks like it could have been angled up a little bit more. Yeah I know, this coming from a guy who doesn't even an SC at the moment. (Scott don't say anything.....) But props none the less. Now turbo that biatch
