Nothing against GMMG, actually I spent a whole day reading up on their chambered system. Just narrowed my playing field down to the ones listed, and now to magnaflow. See my goal for my car is 400 hp at the wheels, no more no less. Thats also the reasoning behind going with what I guess you would call a baby cam (218/226 - .540/.540 - 112) and 190cc ported heads instead of something bigger. GMMG is a nasty exhaust no doubt and something I would consider highly if i was looking to squeeze every drop of power I could out of the formula. It's just not what I'm going for D

You could always run duals, if you haven't already bought the ypipe. Usually a set or two for sale in the FL classifieds at any given time. That is what is nice about here, you aren't going to get pulled over if you don't have exhaust out the back like you might have up north.

Up in philly if you didnt have something sh owing out back, and you didn't have a cat (cops would get down on the ground and check) it was a big fine and possible impound.

I understand the no less part but why no more? When it comes to four wheels can you really have to much? Fast is good but faster is better.

When it comes to a cat-back they're all in the same ballpark as far as hp goes. Just get whatever produces a sound you like. Seriously though, have you ever heard a Hooker mounted up to a set of long tubes? ZERO rasp, and they're less than $400 shipped. Granted their tips are ugly (I just left them off) but if you like shiny parts just throw some Corsa clones on and call it a day.

Magnaflow. granted mine is run through a 4" single pipe, so yours may sound a bit different. I love the way it sounds though, and the stainless muffler is nice also.

Yep no emissions/inspections down here! Seriously you can pretty much run whatever you want for exhaust.

Here is mine:In the driveway.
On EFI Alchemy's dyno.
Going down the road.

So yeah I've never been pulled over in FL due to my car being too loud.I daily drive this thing, had this exhaust setup for around 25k miles already maybe? I was actually complemented last time I was pulled over.

If you like the borla there is a brand new system on the for sale section for $500.00 and thats dirt cheap for what it is
