I am in the proceses of doing an exhaust setup on my car and was woundering what you guys think.So please chime in and let me know. Anyway i just ordered coated pacesetter headers and was thinking about doing the headers with an x-pipe then just have them dumped rite behined the rear seat with no mufflers or cats. I just want to know if this will sound good and loud with out ******* up anything or lossing power because of backpressure. So let me know what you guys think please !!

Backpressure wont be an issue, its the loud annoying rumble under your seat thats gonna get you! If you can handle hearing that every sec your in the car then go for it, to each his own. If you want that super im gonna kill you if you stand to close sound get cutouts man. That way you can have that sound when you want and most importantly when you dont want that sound you can turn it off. But hey its your dime, so if you want it dumped go for it.

I have the TSP setup with bullets and it sounds great. Just depends if you can stand the loud exhaust. I don't think that you should have any problems with the backpressure. Let us know how it sounds when finished.
