Default Keep stock CME or Upgrade??

My car has the Stock CME exhaust, which has a nice tone to it. I like it, it's better then being quiet lol

I was just curious, would it be worth keeping this exhaust & just adding my BBK LT's & ORY to it? Should it flow good? or would what i was originally thinking flow better....which was to get it made into a custom 3" CME exhaust with a LoudMouth 2 Muffler

There's a guy out here i know that doesnt charge a whole lot to do custom exhaust setups. So price wise, it wouldnt be much of a problem and i would only be buying the LM2 Muffler, Not the system.

I had LT's and ory on a 98 Formula, was raspy but pretty tame for an LT setup. The Catback was a magnaflow which is louder than my 2002 SS with the SLP & CME exhaust. I say get the LT's, ory and keep the cme, or get an exhaust too and sell me the cme haha!!

your sig says you have
02 SLP SS "Limited Edition" A4 #4784
FTRA, MSD Wires/NGK Plugs, BBK LT's, ORY, E-Cutout, Stock SLP Blackwing Lid & CME
So if you have a cutout it will sound good.
