Default Best catback w/ LT's, CATTED Y, mild cam

just wanting to know whats the best sounding catback with LT's CATTED Y-pipe, and a 224/228 cam. Not looking for the raspy, drone sound(trying to eliminate drone mostly with current exhaust since installing cam). I want a exhaust thats still going to let people know i have a cam!!!!

TIA guys

It depends on what you want:

If you're looking to quiet it down so it will be civil, but still let people know the cam is there: SLP Dual/Dual

If you want a bit louder than that, but still mellow: Hooker

If you're looking for your middle of the road loud catback that will be very deep and full of bass with great construction and quality: Magnaflow

Or if you want the best possible sound quality you can get, with the meanest sounding (in my opinion, and many others') exhaust possible. Best tone overall: GMMG by far.

Not sure if that helps at all, but it will kind of assist you in your decision if you know what you're looking for. I'd personally go with GMMG because the tone with LTs and catted Y simply cannot be beat.

GMMG by far. that's an easy one if you'll be running cats. i'd give second to SLP Dual/Dual. it's quiter than the others but the tone is far superior.

borla has too much drone....thats just typical of borla. Well I want a nice idle. Main thing is no drone and min. rasp. Not wanting to put the amount of money in it that GMMG cost. Since you guys did mention GMMG.... how is the drone and rasp with that system with LT's, catted Y, and cam???

Hope that helps out on what i want

I have a gmmg with lt's and a catted y. As long as you keep the cats on the car there will be no rasp. To me this is the best sounding exhaust out there with the only down fall being the price.

Just as I thought: GMMG would prevail as THE choice of catback with LTs and catted Y.

save up for it then. you don't have to get it right away. it's better to save up for the right thing then to **** away your money on something you'll wanna change down the line. do it right, do it once, be happy forever

you may as well keep the LM. all you'll hear with both is loud noise and rasp. get cats. we don't own mustangs. f-bodies sound generally terrible without cats. i don't understand why people buy ORY's. all they do is poison the air and make your car sound like crap. cats are $100 more. big deal when you're willing to pay thousands on mods...
