Default Help me with my cme decision

I just bought a 01 ss that has cme. I lovee! the stock system but it is not loud at all. I really want to wake it up. and i cant decide between the two options..

*Get a direct replacement magnaflow and get a dmh electric cutout on the i pipe for when i really want to hear her purr.

* or get the tsp rumbler kit and try to make that fit in place while still making the cme fit center and look good.... maybe make some minor modifications..


I have a shop to use a lift and a welder and cutter to do all of that .. i was jsut wondering what you guys think would be a good setup.

oh and buy the way i do plan to get a longtubes in the near future maybe kooks or qtp. with an ofr y pipe!

I say TSP rumbler because I bought one too but I never got to use it because my car was recently totalled. It's brand new. $220 shipped

I'd say keep the muffler you have now since it flows pretty well and put an electric cut out on it. I have duals on my ss and I'm taking them off and putting a cme on with a cut out. Never rode in a car with a magnaflow so I don't know how loud hey are. I do drive my car everyday and the noise does get annoying at times. I have also heard that the gmmg gets pretty raspy without cats. I don't think the tsp rumbler is stainless I think it's aluminized.

I like my "stock" CME system with longtubes and a hi-flow catted 3" Y-pipe.

Yep. Just be careful with the tips no matter what system you go with. They can be broken fairly easy if the installer tries to manhandle them.
