Default Firehawk exhaust and headers

I am so torn, like many, about which mod to go with. I purchased a set of Dynatech Supermaxx headers and can't decide if I should stay with the SLP Hawk set up or get a Magnaflow.

Think the LTs will make the Hawk exhaust louder but not as loud as the Mag? Opinions on HP differences between the SLP and Mag cat-back?

The power differences between the two will be minimal. The SLP DD is about as quiet as they come, and the Magnaflow will be a little louder and deeper. I'd just stick with the SLP and see how you like it. You can always change the muffler out later.

What ^^ said. I needed a quiet exhaust at the time so I kept the Dual/Dual on. It is barely louder than stock. Sounds great @WOT. But I like a louder more aggressive setup so I gave TSP a call.

you're gaining minimal sound, barely any power and magnaflow looks uglier coming out the back. i can hardly justify spending $400+ for a new setup unless you went with something completely different like GMMG or true duals. anything else would be a waste IMO. then again, it's your car, so do whatever makes you happy in the long run.
