08 Civic si sedan exhaust help

I have read most post on exhaust for the si's and can't get satisfied. The tone on the stock is really nice, but is it corking up the flow at the muffler? Would it be advantageous (HP gains) to replace the muffler only, like a flow master? Thanks for any help.
I have the CAI, PR2 and just sent for the Hondata ref lash so the exhaust seemed like a next step...but I don't want loud and obnoxious like I have heard...just throaty.

If you like the sound of the stock exhaust just stick with it. Your muffler isn't holding you back. Replacing just the muffler isn't going to net you any horsepower gains and replacing the whole system is only going to be good for a handful anyways.

Thanks for the quick reply... I was leaning that way but needed someone else that knows more to solidify my decision.
