Default Looking to do an exhaust build-up

I just stumbled accross some spare cash and was looking into putting headers and exhaust back on my car. This is the setup I am wanting. I want a nice sound not crazy *** loud and not stock quite but right about in between with a deep growl that lets people know you are packing. I was thinking about going Coated-Pacesetters with ory into a hooker cat-back. Now would this setup produce alot of droan inside the car because I like my inside quite while the outside has some bark to it.
I have to drive 80 miles to and from work everyday and crazy loud **** will get annoying. I am not looking for maximum power out of everything but I think this will be a decent setup. I am limited to about $1,200 bucks so that is the best setup I could come up with.

that setup will give you the sound ur lookin for as well as some extra ponies. I hear hookers have a nice deep rumble to em.Havent ever had a hooker before but when i ran LTs, ory, and a borla w/ the plate wide open my car never really had a drone to it on the highway at 80-90mph speeds. I think u'll be alright

You sound like the perfect candidate for a set of longtubes of your choice, and ORY, and a Hooker cat-back. It will be fairly mellow cruising, but at WOT, it roars.

With $1200 you could get pacesetters and y-pipe off ebay for $300 shipped, and get the TSP true duals for 4 something, and still have some left to play with.

He said he didn't want crazy *** loud...the TSP duals would qualify as crazy *** loud.

Hahaha. Look into the Magnaflow catback as another candidate for quiet/loud when you want it catbacks.

Pacesetter LT........True duals are too loud for what you are looking for. Go with the Pacesetter LT's but a quiter exhaust. You could go stock with a cutout. That would control the noise lol. but you probably want a better actualy exhaust. In my own personal opinion. TSP Rumbler would be great. I love that exhaust. I got the true duals now so I know how loud they are. I got just LT's and duals. TOO loud.....But rumbler is less of a noise level than the duals. Check it out on LS1sounds.com

I agree with the hooker, pacesetter combo. Heard Hooker for the first time IN PERSON and it sounded great, I like how it sounds at idle and WOT.
