I have been working on this on another forum and now i moved it here. i have been collecting videos as i come accross good ones that give a good example of the exhaust sound.
This will be a work in progress. post your s197 exhaust vids and i will add it to the OP, and arrange it according to the mufflers. list your headers, midpipe and axle backs so we know exactly what it is. this should help in purchasing exhaust components.
