How loud is this exhaust - I`m looking a new one shortly, but don`t want it to sound too loud and out of place with the car?

here is a video i took of it when it was first fitted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsnLN6hli9M feel free to comment ;) and i didnt chop off the middle section. just up and down th back box pipe till it was very thin nd went very slow until a tiny bit actually cut straight through then just kept doing that. it works eventually.
