So lemme get this straight....

Straight pipe all the way back = Sounds like Sh*t

Remove resonators and replace with magnaflow non-resonated x-pipe and muffler delete = Sh*t also?

I plan on doing the latter so figured I'd ask, thanks.

If you really want to reduce the amount of cash spent on your exhaust and are looking for a good sound:

1. Muffler delete
2. Replace the factory H with an X junction like what Magnaflow offers
http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/02xypipes.asp

Probably looking at $300-$350 with install.

I also got a great price on it too
If I remove the sesonator and add in their "resonated X pipe, it would be the same as there Competition Cat back kit. right now, its a new install and I like the sound volume it has added, but who knows.....later on I might want it quieter, so at least I have that option to add in some mufflers.
Did you tune out the AFM ?- If not, how's the DROAN sound with these Magnaflows ?.

I did NOT tune out/turn off the AFM. its just a little louder than when I had the stock mufflers on. not too bad at if you ask me. I do love the rumble the new axle back has inside the car though.

Definitely NOT too loud. And Definitely Improves power. Been running straight pipes with a cat for about a month, me and everyone LOVES is. Friends, Family, GM Salesmen. maybe not the neighbors. lol.

The only way you would lose power is if you remove the CATS.

THANK YOU! Your car sounds very nice.

But seriously, how the hell would you lose power if you straight pipe it, like some people said? Goes against common sense.

You need some backpressure. Cats give you the right amount.

It is only cool for about 10 minutes then it gets real old real fast.

The Mustang crowd made that mistake went through that Fad years ago, Don't Follow.

Sorry to be so blunt but that is My Opinion.

Now go put some nice mufflers on and enjoy your Cool ass Ride and let everyone else enjoy it when you drive by.

Ted.
Theodore,

Opionions are like A**HOLES. Everyone has one!

A wise man once said "the more trash in the more trash out"! I think they were referring to intake and exhaust. But, I'm not too sure.

If you have been selling exhaust systems for 30 years it seems as if the client would always be correct. So, given that it seems as if someone wants what they want to hell with everyone else.

So, from someone that has Doug Thorley long tubes, no cats, magna packs, and 3 inch out the back. I suggest, like everyone always says. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY. SAY NOTHING AT ALL.
