I picked up a set of Borla straight pipe for my z. Everyone was telling me how it was going to be SO loud. 
I get nothing but complements on it and even my wife says its not too loud!

Not that loud
While putting my stock Ti exhaust back on my '04 Z the other day (removed my Corsa Indy) I succumbed to temptation and started the car while unmuffled. I expected a tremendous and deafening roar, but I was absolutely shocked that the exhaust was relatively quiet - "relatively" being a relative term. 
I've had other cars that were louder on the steet with flowmasters attached. The cats must really restrict and quiet down the stock exhaust. I could see installing a set of cut-outs for those wild-hair moments when I want to raise a few eyebrows. Sounded really good though.
