Default Question about Full exhaut

I really wanna know if this is a good idea to buy... Here we go.
First for 150 Bucks I can get some 3" SNC LT's, and for another 100 bucks I can get flowtech 3" Off road X-pipe. If those are good, What should I get for mufflers. I want my Hawk to sound really good but don't have enough to spend over a grand.

How loud do you want?

Click my sig for longtubes, catted Y, and SLP LM2. Incredible setup IMO, wouldnt want it any different (maybe a bit louder when WOT).


Borla makes awesome muffs, two of them and would be badass with an X pipe. A lot of people like flowmaster 10 series....both are on the "louder' end of the spectrum.

More quiet would be a Hooker or Magna muff.

i have 3 inch pacesetter headers and the rest of my exhaust is three inch i personally love it. it took some modification for the x pipe cause its way bigger than the stock piping. but if you wanted to you can get 3 inch headers and just get reducers so you could go 2'1/2 piping all the way out back.
