honestly...cutouts and a cam will get you the sound you probably want.

thanks..I just watched you video. Sounds good but I can hear the same problem that I had with mine. Maybe Im just to picky. Your car sounds the exact same as when I had flowmasters on mine. At wide open throttle i can hear a rasp and flutter to it.

Now on a side note: As long as you love the sound of your car that's what matters. Love the yellow by the way.

Would cutouts sound the same as no mufflers? Just curious cause I wanted to do this but I didn't like the sound that I had when I was running headers to 3" exhaust x pipe and no mufflers. Loud but sounded awful to me.

Do they make cutouts for 3" exhaust? Will it fit under there?

I have 3 inch No weeds diverters that dump right behind the cats, they where designed for the ARH x pipe. The x pipe on my MBRP will have to be customized to work. I am installing them with the JRE 470 cam next month, I will sound as badazz as it gets, can't wait. It Will look something like this.

Here's mine..magnaflow axle back muffler delete with solo hi flow cats....I've since installed jba shorty headers. http://youtu.be/U6MB4yUwVKA

do uhave headers? or change the x pipe to a real x pipe . will make a huge diff in sound. i had the 12" x pipe in my first setup is was loud with headers and no cats . so i got the setup u got and it sounds awesome . loud whenu get on it but kinda quite when driving normal. cheap fix for u tho. x pipe that bad boy.

they are 2 diff x pipes tho. u got the resonated one probably. get the true x.

Got the sw retro yesterday I didn't want to mess with putting it on so took it to my muffler guy he had a heck of a time installing it. It sounds amazing though just what I was looking for!

Thanks Apex!

Just curious which flowmasters you have...mine didn't sound good with them.

I also have the stainless works retro waiting to be installed...hopefully that takes care of everything.

I have headers, high flow cats, and the solo J pipes with a cam. It's loud as f@$&k outside the car but windows up no drone and quiet. This combo is absolutely as loud as you can get short of open headers. It's just high flows and 3" pipe from the headers, no mufflers.
