Question My new exhaust system....opinions

Ok so after listening to countless exhaust systems on these F-bodies here is what I have it narrowed down to.

1: Pacesetter LT's
2: True duals w/cutouts
3: Sweet Thunder mufflers
4: Stock exhaust tips ( I just like the ones on the car )

Still undecided on the over the axle or under the axle decision.

I still need access to pulling the trans if needed without removing the exhaust.

What are your opinions?

hope you have deep pockets if you plan to do 2 3" pipes over the axle

Ditch the cutouts, there's no need to run them on duals. Over or under both work, under is obviously cheaper

A friend had that system with 2.5 over the axle. LOUD - IMO.

The cutouts were just for me. Not for performance. Like it real loud sometimes especially for after the cam.

Don't know how much $$ difference between over and under. I would prefer over but if you can get away with under that's more money to spend on other things. My car isn't lowered and I have no plans to lower it either.

Since the Pacesetters are 3" collectors should I get the 3" inlet 2 1/2" outlet Sweet Thunders?

Yep. I believe that would be better in the long run too. Next is a cam then a little n2o. Should be able to breathe with these. Kinda thinking it might be loud

I can save the money on the cut outs and put that towards tires or the rear end fund. Gonna need one sooner or later.

Sweet thunders don't come in 3 inch all the way through, you won't feel a power loss running them on duals
