what do you think of this exhaust combo

I'm really close to going with ARH 1 3/4 long tubes, ARH catted Y-pipe, and Magnaflow catback w/ quad tips. Also getting a tune as well after install. I think it will provide the best overall sound w/ least rasp or drone.

I have ARH with hooker catback. Sounds really good. Only down side is the hooker CB is not stainless.

Any reason why you'd want to go 1 7/8" over 1 3/4"? They're going to hurt you unless you plan on going stroker, FI, sprayed or a very big H/C package. 1 3/4" is optimal for NA 346 setups. I'll reserve my vote until I learn what your future plans are.

i think it will sound good. I'd wait on the tune though, unless of course you have other mods or something.

That will be my setup after I change my catback to magnaflow. You will get some good power also.

i think the magnaflow sounds great with lt and y-pipe. you don't need the tune right away. i ran my lt and td set up untuned for 6 months. then again people like chaco who were fat rich after after lt and y-pipe, would benefit from the tune. simply put, if you have the money and time for the tune do it, if not i wouldn't worry about it

What about adding a cutout to the I pipe as well? quite when want to be, open it up and scream. I was thinking about doing your exact same set up, just adding the electric cutout. Either that, or LTs with duals and forget all the emissions bs.

excellent choice on the headers, but im not a huge fan of the magnaflow catback. they make great power but arent loud enough for me, but i think youll be happy with it!
