Hey guys, i have an 01 SS with an OEM SLP CME on it. i absolutly love the look of it so theres no way its going anywhere lol. I currently have Pacesetter LTs and ORY and everything else is stock. Im looking for more bite in my exhaust note. Just to give u an idea i was looking into a LM1 even tho they say its too loud with LTs and ORY lol. My problem is that it seems with no matter what exhaust i get, i need custom pipes bent so that i can still use my tips and have it aligned with the valence.I almost bought a used exhaustg off someone but i was paying for a whole bunch of stuff i wouldnt be able to use since i have the CME. So basically im looking for suggestions.
My criteria includes:
-Deep note
-Intimidating, almost scary sounding when i rev it lol, i wanna hear it nicely at idle also
-Cant spend a fortune since i have a **** job for now and payments take most of my check
-Keep CME valence and tips
-Also, i kno this may get me flamed but i happen to love a popping sounding exhaust. My buddy had a LM1 on his LT1 car and i loved how it popped as it wound down.
-No cutouts for the time being

ALso, if u have a custom setup on ur CME post up some pics so i can see how everyhting is routed and also if u can give me a ballpark figure on what u paid.

-thanks in advance

I have QTPs, magnaflow X-pipe, moroso spiral flow tru duals 3" all the way back to the cme...I went to a local racer/exhaust guy and had it done fairly cheap... not a great job and will be having it redone with mandrel stainless. The car definatly sounds aggresive yet nonabrasive most times. If you buy all the parts you want from summit then take it to an exhaust shop you probably will only be out a couple hundred dollars for a mediocre exhaust setup.. If you are like me you'll end up spending another 800-1000 dollars to have it done right.

I have Dynaetch LT's, high flowcats, X pipe, magnaflow bullets. I reuse my tips like u r trying to do. at idle the car sounds nice not loud just a nice crisp sound. but at WOT she screams. Heres a few pics of my 2.5" duals CME. also at my lowest point of the exhaust is 5"

so far u guys seem to have great exhausts dont get me wrong. I just dont wanna drop the kinda cash needed for true duals. ANy other ideas?

sorry to be so picky lol...im a bit fanatical wit the car as im sure most of u understand but between school/car payments and GF my search for an exhaust has to be a bit mroe cost friendly

might cost a little like around 550 but a borla mouth setup sounds badass

get a used Corsa and sell the tips...you'll probably make at least half your money back!

Thanks 99

I thin ki Do, i'll just have to look for a couple. If I cant find them, I can just take some more...but it sure isn't pretty (nothing nearly as pretty as Campia's)....YET.

I have the ARH with ORY as well, CME, I used two SLP bullet mufflers before the CME tips, it was tooooo raspy after headers install, the bullets help alot, sound pretty good now,I also have the Loud Mouth that came with my SLP package,I'll try to post some pics,I hope this helps

Read Sig. for exhaust details. From your description i think i have the sound your looking for. Tried the bullets just before the tips, big mistake, back to sig list. Kind of a mix between a really good sounding LS1 and a bit of the Mustang burrble if you know what i mean. heres a pic
Here's the Video thats about 3500rpm max rev cause my neighbors already hate me.
