Not sure I would go on his word frankly, doubt you will find many if any competent manual transmission drivers that would suggest downshifting into 1st is a good idea. Its always funny when someone posts a question, a bunch of reasonable people suggest they do something other than what they do and then they post that they are going to do it anyway. Heck its your car so you can do what you want but its not advisable especially if your goal is just to get sound. Better to buy a catted downpipe and a VF tune, that way you get performance and sound. The downpipe alone will likely get you a desirable result.
