look in the td section above. everyone has there own definition of loud, and to me with the magnaflows it's damn quiet, also theres alot of people who run 2.5 inch with no problems. i have 2.5 duals with single chamber fm's and its tame around town but when you get on it it screams. heres my set uphttps://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...881&highlight=

just grab a couple bullets then, whatever sound you like. extend them, dump them right before the rear axle. have them weld in an h-pipe. Keep the cats on.

not to be a stickler or anything but I'm afraid I'm going to have to call BS on that one Jarret. I started off with bullets, Ivan got bullets on his SS, Rusty got bullets, ...................sounds like there's going to be a lot of cars w/ the "same sounds"
