I think you have a good chance of melting the plastic on top of the rear bumper by the License Plate just like several other guys who have done the same thing with the tail pipe termination to close to the bumper cut out. I can't tell for sure in you vid, but please accept my heads up on that.

If it's an 06 then it is a 3.5.

Many years ago, I thought making more noise=making a statement. Now that I'm driving a hummer, it speaks for itself, no need to make more noise. Just drive it like you own it, and take care of that H3.
However, if you want to make a serious statement, you could always upgrade:

I've been playing with mine. 2006 H3 3.5L. The first thing I did was cut off the muffler. Loud, but I thought okay so then I had a pipe put in where the muffler was and used the existing hangers. I think just like yours, couldn't tell exactly though from your vid. Mine sounded much like yours, but had the worst drone at 2500-3000 RPM. Couldn't stand it. I mean it was bad and I didn't even remove the resonator.

I did notice a good improvement when driving it though. I mean the first time I took off up the street without the muffler on it I felt like I was driving a different vehicle. Maybe my old muffler was plugged or something, because it's made a pretty noticeable difference in takeoff and passing.

I'll post some pics of my new muffler when I get the chance.
