That'd be great!! And another appriciation to Mr. Danger for the introduction of these mufflers to the forum
That is all.

Check on ebay as there still are some CC mufflers being offered for under $300. Mine sounds great and cuts some weight from the rear. No need to spend 1k or more on two s.steel cans.

Totally agree, I bought mine 6 months ago it was straightforward to install and I still geek out everytime I floor it through a tunnel.

What I posted was the Top Speed muffler sound. You may refer to it as the CC muffler, but I won't because I find that to be demeaning.

Perhaps those who had this particular muffler installed are too embarrased about the puffy sound created by the backpressure effect swallowing back the gases/flow back into the system? That can make a nasty wroom tell ya.... dunno mate!
Best of luck with finding what you are looking for

i got the charlie chan cans , best bang for the buck in my opinion. does drone around 2,800 rpm. i don't get that farting sound some other people have had. it is not the best sounding exhaust out there but it is pretty good . i just got the charlie chang delete pipes , can't wait to install the , should sound really good after those are installed . total cost is around 450.00

two surprises
I found the "Charlie Chan" muffler on eBay for $225 + shipping + tax, which came to a little over $300 and pulled the trigger.
Here are my impressions:
* The muffler looks very much like the NHP V2
* The bolts which are supplied are too large in diameter and won't go through the holes in bracket on the transmission, so I had to go to Home Depot and buy thinner ones, I like to keep everything metric so I ended up with M8 x 1.25 x 70 mm
Now the surprises:
* Zero, I mean absolutely NO drone at all 
* The exhaust is much quieter than I had expected  I didn't' have a stock exhaust on my car since a very long time, so it's hard for me to compare but I think it's still a bit louder than stock
The sound itself is nice, a bit lower rumble which comes halfway alive at 4k RPM
