Exhaust systems Options

[monkeywrench]

This may be a stupid question, but don't different exhaust systems have a different sound? I was thinking of getting a cold air intake for a Celica (I know what a celica sounds like with a cold air intake) and an aftermarket exhaust system. I was wondering if theres a way I can find out what all the different brands sound like? I'm meaning like Skunk2, Borla, Flow Master and MagnaFlow. I don't know if any of them sound like those giant Doge and Ford trucks (I mean the kind that are more made for Oil Field work or heavy hauling) or if its the engine that makes the certain noise, or if the muffler itself has a design on the inside that makes the noise.

the back preassure that engine puts out affects how DEEP the noise is. example, have you ever heard a little civic 1.6L take off. they sound like a fart machine. A celica 2.2 has more back preassure, and exhaust can sound better. But most important is price, if you go to advance auto zone and buy a 40 dollar exhaust you probably wont get what you are looking for. personally A'PEXi is what i've had on my celice, 3000 gt. and mx-3. i loved it.
