Pontiac GTO 2004-2006 - Mufflers!

So I finally got my headers on with the catless mids and to be honest the SLP LM1 sounds like pure shit. So I know that tone is subjective but anyone got some mufflers that just sound awesome? I'm thinking about Spintech Prostreets any opinions on those?
I have Pacesetter Long Tube Headers Catless mids Xpipe and SLP lm1 right now

I am debating over flowmaster 40's or magnaflow welded in the 04 position. The 04's sound better than the 05/06's

The '04 have an engineered exhaust vs the LS2 thrown on one. Beside the mid position the left and right mufflers are even different on the inside and have different notes.

Thats just it I don't wanna spend $300 on mufflers for borla. I have some flomaster super 40s but i'm not a fan of flowmaster

i agree flowmasters arent the best. i have a magnaflow CB and i think it sounds good but my friends gto with flowmasters just sounded monstrous.

Just depends what kind of sound you like.
I personally hate the Xpipe raspy corsa type shit. Others love it.

I'm running 10 series flows. Those are one chamber. 3 inch center in offset out. I've got pacesetters, no cats and all 3 inch custom pipe with x pipe. Flows are installed exactly where the factory resonators were and turndowns off the outlets.

I had spintechs with L/T and a catted X and the car was way too loud for me. I replaced the spintechs with flow 40s and I loved the sounds. It quieted it down and gave it a deeper tone. But because of a ticket I had to take my L/T off so now I have stock catted, X pipe and flows but I still like the sound.

They gave you a ticket for that??? That's an almost identical set up to mine (H-pipe), and I've never been hassled. It's loud at WOT, but I personally don't think this set up is very loud. Not compared to other exhaust set ups at least... A buddy with an '04 has managed to drive that past 6+ months with longtubes, catless mids, Y-pipe with no muffler. Needless to say, his is beyond loud when accelerating and he hasn't had any issues. Weird.

and instead of paying the ticket and just leaving the setup as is, he went back to stock......

It sounded good but a little too loud for me. Especially since I live in CA and I leave for the gym and then work at 4:15-4:30 A:M.

how do you like the comp cam?
gmantheman
03-24-2012, 05:04 PM

I actually like it better than the MS3. The comp cam has more useable power or at least it feels this way. The MS3 made it's power in the upper rpms whereas the comp cam makes it down low and in the midrange.

i have stainless works headers, 05/06 mids, spintech x-pipe, and spintech mufflers. the mufflers are the ones everyone says wont fit. they are 3in center/center. the car is loud at shit. im in afgan so i cant post a video but if you got to youtube type in 98demonZ28 and look for jake's gto you can see the video. also flowmasters suck well the damn thunder race crap for our cars do. it was on my car orginally and it wasnt loud and the flow was crap. i ran a 13.1 with them on then ran open x-pipe and ran 12.7 just to give you and idea of the shitty flow
