Considering TRD Y-Pipe

I am thinking about installing a URD Y-Pipe. I was wounding if any of you all that have installed a Y-Pipe, might give me your impression of how it effect the exhaust sound/volume.
I have a TRD Cat Back Exhaust so my 4Runner'exhaust is a little more noticeable compared with stock 4Runner. I am kind of concerned this addition might significantly increase the exhaust volume.
I found a YouTube video where the guy installed one but had stock rear exhaust.
Thanks

do it.

y-pipe with stock exhaust - no note change
y-pipe with borla s-type - no rasp, sounds good, gets a little drone-y when youre stuck in 4th going up a hill. 5th, you can hear the exhaust but no drone.

i've yet to hear how the trd cat back is. im sure it has to be quieter than the s-type. i actually want to swap to borla touring or add a resonator (if theres room). i've tried recording it with my iphone but it just doesnt sound the same.
 
So there is a little problem with this guys video. I captured it and pulled the audio off. Looking at the display of the audio on my editor. He was not consistent at all about pressing on the throttle.
So the actual clip with the URD Y-Pipe installed was Clip 1 and Clip 3.
Also interestingly the volume level of those clips were lower than the Stock Y-Pipe. Now this could obviously be caused by the location of his recording device. If it was moved that would certainly change the results.

Ha, funny. I was going to say clip 1 and clip 3 but thought I could only choose one clip.
