You may want to think about getting a different catback if you're going with an Offroad Y (Unless you'd like your car sounding like an old dumptruck).

I have Kooks headers w/ the off road y-pipe and the Borla w/ no plate. The setup is loud , raspy and has a bunch of resonance. I would get rid of the borla for something different but I like the stainless steel and my car is not a daily driver so the exhaust note doesn't bug me.

How do you get away with that setup in MA. I lived in Agawam my whole life until I joined the Air Force. I remember getting pulled over in my old 94 T/A a couple times for my car being too loud and it only had a Hooker catback.

I have Borla with Kooks/ORY. Under 2000 rpm's it sounds like it did before the headers. Although after that between 2000 and 3000 its really raspy then smoothes out some. Anyways heres a lil vid of me running a buddy wide open i think it sounds great. http://video.ls1tech.com/Player.aspx...0-1493D924ABBD
