No headers. If she wants it loud and mean sounding the off road H pipe that will delete the cats will do the job. They bolt to the stock manifolds and cost maybe $170. Loudmouth doesn't sound that good on the GT. Just get a Flowmaster or Magniflow catback for now and if it ain't loud enough for her than can do the H pipe a lil later.

Yeah....I was just thinking slp loudmouth catback....the magnaflow probably would not be loud enough. And no, I don't think she wants headers and all that...she has a car payment now...lol

Be respectfull guys. She is a fellow F-Body owner..
It may not be H/C now, but what about the past? The dealer who has that car probably doesn't know the history of it either. It's not uncommon for somebody to take a car that was modded/beat to hell, get it back to stock, and then sell the car. Hell, I've helped people do it

Those M/T drag radials on there are a pretty good sign that it's been modded in the past. Those aren't a tire the average person would throw on a car

And who knows, I very well could be wrong. But it should be an assumption that the car in question didn't have an easy of life as other LS1 cars I'd give the same advice to anyone, fellow F-body owner or not

And congrats on the Mustang purchase, hope to see some pics

In my opinion you can't beat an off road x with 40 series flow welded in where the mufflers are at. Thats my favorite tone, and what I had on mine. I honestly wished my z sounded just like it.

The problem with that is that she has a 3 year warranty left on the car, and taking the cats off is not an option now. I did some looking around, and maybe the Loudmouth II is the best mix between loud without being sickly obnoxious?

Does Flowmaster offer any single chamber dual setups? I'd be willing to bet that would fit the bill perfectly, as far as sound goes

i think the off road x with 40 series flowmasters sound best on gt's, but you got to stick with the cats.
BTW hot looking girl

Hehe...yeah...she makes that Mustang look good!

Decisions decisions...she's relying on me to find what she'll like. I am gonna **** in my pants first time they start the car. I'll be focused on her face to see whether I see a smile or a "ewww".

Since someone is gonna pick up on the comment I made that she's cute....and is gonna ask for a pic....

Well, I showed her a bunch of video clips....she seems to like the Loudmouth the best so far. My buddy has the same car she has with a Steeda catback. He just ordered the Loudmouth II mufflers and is going to have them welded into his Steeda system to replace the Steeda mufflers, and he's getting a X pipe put in...so we'll see how that sounds.

Ah yes...Halloween party tonight...I wonder what she's gonna wear....
