Yeah I was looking at prices and looks to me that buying the cable here would be cheaper. Cheapest place I found the tune was $315 w/o cable. Hopefully some Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Xmas deals come along

Yeah that's where I'm looking at currently. I'll probably send them an email to see if they have any deals for the near future.

And I was looking at your build and now you have me considering doing some under hood painting...

BNR most likely will have a sell for black friday or so.. I am actually surprised they havent had one for a while. u just need to keep looking and stay on top of the vendors thread for when it goes on..

Jewel, dont worry.. I bet life will have a good job waiting for you.. sometimes we dont see why things happen until later in life.. where was that job at?

on another note.....is this true? in this vid only ONE hp was added from a full catback
It could be i think.. I mean out cars' exhaust is pretty damn good from factory minus the muffler.. I think that u can have both world if you do headers, resonated X pipe and then good axleback. or even muffler delate with that..

I used to have cherry bomb catback which was tru X pipe and it was loud as F... and annoying too.. but it was mainly in cabin noise and drone..
Now I have BBK LT, resonated X pipe and the axleback from my cherry bomb catback.. and it sounds amazing.. but inside is not loud at all..

well i was looking at the magnaflow and ark exhaust and well.......they are absurdly expensive lol i could buy one but we all know these systems are marked up like crazy, i know people need to make money but damn! lol SO! i was thinking i could get one of these unsuspecting v8 guys to give up there stock cat back and ill just bolt that on with a magnaflow resonator. if i like how it sounds ill rock it for a bit and worst case if i dont ill add a pair of MRT2's or magnaflow mufflers and BAM! a $1,300 exhaust system for about $300-500.... can't beat that. good idea huh?? lol

Try it and tell me how close it sounds Lol. Youre nowhere near the first to try it. There's way more to it than diameter.

What are you still confused about? The internal design of the mufflers is where the sound is going to be modified. Stock SS mufflers are not gonna get you where you want. And if you're going to put MRT on anyway then its a waste to bother putting the larger mid pipes in.
