The muffler themselves won't add the deeper growl, but they do give the awesome tips. Maybe throw on an x-pipe in place of the center resonator for the added growl. (many videos/sound clips floating around here and youtube)

If the mufflers don't make the sound better, then I would pass. I actually prefer the quad tips on the 4.4 over the oval tips of the "is" models. Looks more classic, imo.

The 4.6 mufflers were just on sale/sold in the classifieds and the seller claims they change the note.

I have a 4.6 and would say it's not worth $400...and I have an X pipe. It's barely audible from inside but sounds ok on the outside. Not as deep as my old E39 M5 with Magnaflows.

I have a facelift 4.4 with 4.8is mufflers & tips. Sound is deeper than 4.4, but not exactly as deep as a 4.8.

I don't think I'd pay $400 for that... I'd rather pay $400 for a custom setup at a shop.

I got him down to $300 worth it or not?

I'd do it for $300 and replace the resonators with an x-pipe to achieve your deep growl exhaust note...

I just took off my 4.4i exhaust for 4.6is. earlier this week, I really like the look, there isn't a growl or anything. But It appears the piping is 2.5" vs 2.25" so maybe its exhaling a bit better, so maybe my truck is running a bit more efficient, on highways it seems to go a bit faster....but I love the chrome oval tip better personally vs the stainless steel quads. for $300 Its a good price, but its not an easy swap by any means, if you do it yourself, maybe 2 hrs, or pay shop $80-$100 to swap it out.
