I just picked up a 3" ultra flow and brought the car down to a custom exhaust shop
It was something like 70 for the mufler and 150 for the 3" cat back and mufler install. And I hear borla make a good muffler for a resonator (maybe it's the X-1) this combo would I'm guessing would be probably as quiet as the stebro.

Stebro is overpriced junk.
Tuned exhaust they say.......
Example: three systems, 3.6 V8, 4.2 V8, 200q20v.
Same pipe size (54mm) and same mufflers on all three systems. Differences: 200q20v has a different outlet location. They added a swagged inlet to get their 54mm pipes to mate to the 4.2's stock 60mm system. Yes thats correct, buy a Stebro for a 4.2 and you are downsizing the exhaust.
So my question is....whats it tuned for??
Wonderful features you get for just $800:
Press bent pipe, hangers that break within 6 months, and that wonderful snare drum effect in your back window at cruise speeds.
If you're gonna spend money on an aftermarket system go with Scorpion.
Better yet....for V8's and 200q20v's keep the stock center, dump the rear. and fabricate mandrel bent tails. The stock center of these cars is internally identical to the Dynomax Ultraflow Stainless, one of the best flowing mufflers on the market. The sound with no rear muffler is throaty and you get no drone effect at any speed.

what kind of muffler myke?
I found out that I'm getting 3" straight pipe from the (gutted) cat to a rear euro muffler (which I may swap for another muffler) with the parts TQW I'm getting thats included with the 200TQ. System is basically brand new, used only for a few hours, made by a custom exhaust shop. Im telling you Jodan is the man! SO I want to swap this over to the 200 eventually and probably put a different muffler on the end.
