Default Change my exhaust??? Vid Inside

Hey everyone im really considering changing my exhaust setup up. Right now im running pacesetter longtubes, pacesetter ORY with a 3" cutout, into a borla catback with CME tips. I usually drive with the cutout open most of the time, because i hate how the borla sounds. I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on what they thing will sound the best with a decent sized cam.. I was thinking TDs under the axle cause i wanna run the CME still, but my car is lowered. Anyways heres a vid of my car for you guys to get an idea, it sounds pretty good in the vid of the borla, but in person i dont think it sounds as good honestly..

i run true duals with sweet thunder bullets. 3 inch x pipe to 2.5 out the back. it sounds pretty good and get consistent compliments on the sound as well. your car will sound wicked due to the cam. plus, if done correctly, ground clearance is not an issue.

hey jake i'm in the process of thinking about trading my true dual setup for a quieter exhaust. if that deal falls through i'll let ya know. it would sound insane on your car with that cam. dr gas x pipe into spiral flows dumped... you heard it before

Well i went to the exhaust shop by my house and the guy said they could run it out the back under the axle for about $220..So does that seem like a good price? im gonna see if they can run 3" all the way to my center mount tips..cause i believe the center mount is 2.5 inches..

Car sounds badass as it stands IMO. Those duals with spirals would be pretty slick tho

Whats going on? The smoke is a little bit of blow by, dont forget the car has 131K miles on it. Thanks i think it sounds good now too, but i really think it will sound ALOT better with a TD setup. I really dont think $220 is all that bad for 3" pipe, i believe its all stainless, but im not sure. I dont know if i wanna drive all the way in the city when this guy is sooo close..And i dont know what your talking about hitting a curb...
