Default Did I do wrong by getting a ORY?

I ordered kooks the other day and the ory im wondering if the ory was a bad choice and if I should of just went td's. I plan on getting a MS4 later on and think I might of messed up by getting the ory. Is there a catback I can get that will sound good with the ory and a cam? What about the B&B? Just wanted to know some other suggestions I really like quads tips alot and im not much into single tips so if I got a magnaflow or somethin like that I would want to change the tips.

You probably should of went with the duals + MS4. Most catbacks are going to sound raspy with the ory.

So far I think B&B is at the top of my list I wish I would of jumped on it about a month ago when there was a group purchase. If anyone knows about a new gp please let me know. I might run a cut out with this also.

I see alot of people on hear say that when they put in a big *** cam that they don't really care about the rasp much when all they hear is the hard hitting cam.

the hooker flows very well and sounds good. I get compliments on the exhaust sound all the time.

What do the hooker tips look like? Is it stainless?

I got rid of the y pipe setup about a month after the h/c install, i got real tired of how it sounded, I went with the TSP duals w/dynomax bullets, it sounds much better.

I had TDs and switched back to a y-pipe. Regardless of what anyone says, it's a simple fact that the undercarriage of F-Bodies has no provisions for a dual exhaust--heck, they don't even have much of a provision for a y-pipe.

TDs do sound great, but that's not to say you can't find a cat-back that will sound nice too. Will it sound as good as TDs? Probably not. Will you most likely have fewer headaches in the long run? Probably so.

That's just my $.02 having had both types of exhausts.

I just made the switch from an ORY and borla to TSP duals with bullets. The sound alone i believe was worth the switch. No more rasp! But like mentioned before i did have to sacrifice some ground clearence.
