Worried? I can't see that there's much to worry about. I haven't heard of a single person who's done the MKII mods that have not liked them. All these explanations about how something sounds are subjectvie at best...I think you're over complicating this whole thing. If you're worried about the sound...then spend the $1500 for PSE and get it right. Otherwise, take the advice and suggestions from a whole lot of folks who have done this mod and just do it. Your total outlay for a set of MKII mods will be around $250-300 depending upon how much the 3.6L mufflers end up costing you. If you want to throw the Carnewal mufflers into the mix...I can't help you because I've never heard them, and no one in this discussion thread has addressed them either. Just makes it more complicated.
Better still....find someone who has the MKII mods who lives in your area and go listen to them. I can tell you with 95% confidence that you'll like what you hear. This thread has gone for 11 pages...more than enough for you to go back and read about the different mods and make up your mind.

I just picked up a set of 3.6 cans on ebay for $20.50... lol 
I have PSE, but I have an annoying rattle that I think is either something loose in cats or exhaust so if its exhaust I have super cheap fix.

Shay: Why....with all these recommendations and kudos for the MKII....are you going to "take the hit as an experiment"? You have countless guys here all telling you that you won't be disappointed with the MKII...and you're considering an "experiment"? I sincerely hope your experiment comes out to your satisfaction. I think if you and Arnee get together your mind will be made up.

I just got back from the exhaust shop. They went with a 2" cut out in the hole using 2.25 Stainless Steel pipe. They used a plasma cutter to cut the hole. To do the mods and install was only $168.00! So total bill was $418.00 for everything! The sound is much much better and with the new Schnell CAI you can tell a difference in throttle response. I love it! Thanks for all the advice!
A special thanks to Tim (gotta911) for giving me the idea! Thanks Tim!

I'm getting with Arnee tonight? Just thought maybe I can be famous for taking it a step farther! Okay fine, I'll stay with security of fame. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm finding that the MKII mod of the 3.6 mufflers....is getting louder as time goes by. Driving in the neighborhood, I usually have to keep it under 3000 rpm otherwise it becomes "noticeable". Anyone else notice an increase in the sound levels?

It's called old age.

I didnt think it was that loud after the install yesterday. I guess because I am use to my Mustang with offroad H pipe and Flowmaster dual chamber 40's. LOL!!!
