Is it louder than the stock or does it just have more attitude? What about the sound level in the cabin?

The sound level actually increased. Although if you're just leisurely cruising around its just enough tone for you to hear it. When you open it up, starting at 2-2.5k throttle the tone changes significantly. And for the price and minimal modifications, I think it was worth every penny.

And this changed the sound how? I'm really looking at that exhaust right now as my only viable option.

Going catless does make the exhaust a little louder, although it's not overpowering imo. I personally wanted more sound and power as well so this was the route I took. Although I have the jb4 stage 2 in as well, Im still slightly skeptical on pushing the car to limits I've never been to. If you're on a lease then maybe just a muffler delete or axle back is the sound you want and be worth the investment to some point.

I'm not looking for louder as much as a more distinctive sound. I'm tuned and am planning on a DP and axle back. I just don't want a loud beer can sound, more of a defined European throaty sound.

I believe that the axleback/dp exhaust combination is very throaty for the n20, much more aggressive. I'll post a few videos soon for a comparison from just the axle back.

Cant wait to see more videos man! Csmoove195 since you have JB4 i believe the best way is to datalog and see how it behaves in your respective map for your mods.. Under 22psi you're safe, at least I was on 22psi for a few months with everything stock when I had RaceChip. Now I'm doing 21.5-21.9 w/ the Enzo 300R+ Performance pkg (BMC AirFilter, Custom Catless Downpipe & EnzoTuned ECU Calibration).
Hopefully we can get everyone in the tri-state along with OpenAir together for a little drag-strip fun next friday.

I hope you and OpenAir are able to make it to the drag-strip October 2nd
Going to be really really interesting since Larry getting that same exhaust installed as well.

Amessforone is no where to be found lol , who has a 228 Manual DP + EnzoTuned

The other folks coming are M235s, 328, 335s, 535s, trying to see if I can find some 4 series too. And of course there will be Crashnbrn5 X3 35i (Soon to get a 335GT new lease) and mge92 X3 28i EnzoTuned & myself.

Yep most important going to bring my friend Crashnbrn5 X3 35i stock to see how it does side by side to it.. We're going to do at least 3-4 runs back to back, each time in different modes.

Csmoove195 OpenAir if this weather is really true that it will rain all week, then Drag will automatically be moved over to Oct 9th (Otherwise I might go both dates)

The hangers did not need to be adjusted, the length between the muffler tip and the muffler itself was cut 3 inches, and the dual tips were welded back on. If you're talking about the Downpipe, it was a little tight of a fit but everything lined up where it was supposed to be and was do-able.
