Get a cutout but decide if you want an electric or manual. Elec's are good if a cop pulls you over, etc., you can shut off the car and when he asks you to turn it on..flip the switch...its back 2 stock(no ticket,seen it happen). Or just get a manual, take the cap off, and be loud 24/7.

Magnaflow is a very quiet system. Almost like stock in my opinion. Look into a Loudmouth 2 or just get a cutout. Cutout is the much cheaper route.

love whorin' my girl out.

Bone stock with the muffler hacked (ignore the damn laugh)


Pacesetter LTs, ORY and an 18" Sweet Thunder




I dig the smooth sound of the Sweet Thunders. Not really raspy and has a chambered sound.

Cutout +10 or however much we're up to by now. Dirt cheap and you can cap it back up when you need to make it quieter.

I just bought a ws6 that has a borla with a k&n filter as the only mods and it is very loud and aggressive sounding. Turns heads upon startup and a a friend called me the other day as i left a store that was a couple houses down from where he was working asking if i was leaving nearby cuz it was loud enough for him to hear from there. I have been very impressed with this as it is my first borla...

headers, catted y pipe and a cutout will get you the sound your are looking for man based on what i have heard. You could go with a ORY, off-road ypipe but that will give you alot of rasp and i know ur trying to keep a clean sound.

check out the sponsors to the Right ======>
i got my headers/ypipe from texas speed and the DMH electric cutout from Speed Inc. I have done business with each of those places more than once and they are great.


haha its a shame we cant surf this site at work
