Will I lose the "burble"?

I am on the verge of doing some mods to my 2 month old MCS (15% pulley, ecu by GIAC, CAI) but it occurrs to me that messing with the ECU might eliminate the sensuous "burble" which was so generously given to us on the 05 MCS. If any of you have installed the GIAC on an 05 model, or done another ECU mod I hope you can clarify whether the "burble" is lost.

No, they don't effect the burble.

When you get your doors get blow off by a MODed MCS, burble will cease being your priority.

Good question. What's the general consensus on how much power a stock exhaust robs from other mods? I would like to keep the coop looking and sounding as close to stock as possible... but I do like power...
