Intakes and Exhaust Effects on MDS...HELP!!

[TheySpinnin]

Hey,
I am considering getting a CAI (leaning towards K&N) and a cat-back exhaust system (leaning towards Borla) for my 300C, but I am a little worried about the potential downsides. What I mean is I really do not want the sound to be overly-loud and annoying, and I would like a system that is as quiet as possible on the highway (hopefully no louder than the road noise).
Another thing that I am a litte worried about is exactly what it will sound like when the MDS shuts down 4 of the cylinders. Anyone have a sound clip of this?
Also, I have read TONS of stuff about which CAI and cat-back is best ... if anyone could let me know which systems deliver the sound characteristics described above, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

I'm running volant cold air intake, zoomer cat back exhaust, and dynatech long tube headers. Life is good..........

OK, 2 questions...
1) how is the noise at highway cruising speeds
-and-
2) how is the sound when the MDS kicks it into 4 cylinder mode?

Look for someone close to you and check it out in person (its worth a little drive)

IT will sound MEAN and give you great response. I use a DUB-AIR intake and it looks and sounds great!

No noise at highweay cruising speeds, just music to my ears.
The sound when the MDS kicks in is not noticeable.
