Magnaflow cat back is not loud enough... Right now my car has Kooks longtubes, ORY and a magnaflow cat back. The car is not loud enough for me. I really like the way a B&B PRT exhaust sounds on a C5, and I'd like to duplicate that sound if at all possible. I know B&B makes a cat back for the F body, but I don't know that it sounds like the PRT. Does it? For me, the Magnaflow is just too quiet and its kinda raspy with the ORY. I will be putting cat shells on my ORY to pass visual emissions. The car is not my daily driver, its a nice weather driver. Ive owned loud cars before, Im used to it. I was also considering true duals with bullet mufflers like these ones on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02...temZ8053823855 I am just a little skeptical about how the true dual will fit on the car. I've heard some real horror storys about true duals hitting the floor and causing all kinds of vibrations and knock retard. I think the true duals sound sweet, but I don't know if I want to deal with the fitment issues. Im not sure which exhaust system I really want at this point. I'd like to hear some feedback. Thanks
Do you plan on a cam or heads or both. My car is alot louder since I built my new engine with new H/C, also the blower has added more volume too. If you plan on some more mod's you might want to wait and see how it sounds after. Just a thought.

I thought my LTs, ORY, and Magnaflow was getting too loud. Just shows the definition of "loud" to different people I guess.
I'd reccomend some true duals from Texas Speed with the Sweet Thunder chambered mufflers.

Hey not to hijack the thread but if anyone is selling their magnaflow pm me. Also, if you want loud go with duals and the dynomax bullets, your not going to find a meaner setup out there. if you want a catback I have my slp lm which im going to be swapping out soon so if youd be looking for a trade id be willing to swap my lm and maybe some cash for the magnaflow.

I'd consider selling it outright. If I buy the true dual set up from TSP I'll let you know. As of right now the whole cat back has about 1000 miles on it.

I really wish Billy Boat made a version of their PRT system for f bodies. It sounds sick on a C5.
