Talking PS LT's + 2.5 X Pipe + 20" Powersticks...Here's the video!

Sorry about the quality but its the best I can do. I know there are a lot of guys out there that would like to know how these mufflers sound so here you go. It's a set of pacesetter long tubes with 2.5 x pipe and 20" powersticks dumped before the axle. Let me know what you guys think.

Wow, that sounds awesome for an axle-dump with powersticks!
I expected a lot more rasp when you stepped on it.
Nice work

How does it feel when you drive it around?
Cabin noise tolerable?

At 70 mph on the freeway its quiter than my ory, gmmg set up. Believe it or not. There is absolutely no rasp with these mufflers. I love them. At wot it is unbelivably loud. Well, maybe this helps...at 70 mph with the tops off and the windows down, the wind is louder than the exhaust. I spent probably a little more than a year trying to decide on which mufflers to use for this set up. I could have got the 16" powersticks but I was affraid of getting some unwanted attention since this is my everyday car. I'll try to get some pictures. It tucks up so nice under the car I couldn't believe it. The lowest part of the whole exhaust is the collectors and I have yet to scrap them. Just have to know your limits in some parking lots I guess, lol. Thanks guys and I'll try to get those pictures up here in the next day or two.

I was planning on running two 16" Powersticks, but over the axel. I'm hoping "Santa" will be delivering them soon.

Sounds great by the way.

They consider themselves a chambered exhaust, so they'll have less rasp than the bullets.

At least it seems that way from the videos I've seen.

So since they're a chambered muffler, how do they compare to GMMG?

I like that sound, I've got the same thing but bullets...I don't even know what it sounds like outside of my car =(

The powersticks cost me $147.xx total. That was for both mufflers and the shipping. Took 5 days to get them because they are made when ordered. Well aside from the headers I bought a 2.5" universal x pipe kit, and the mufflers. I took it down to the local exhaust shop and they made a set of slip fit collectors for the x pipe like the ps ory did so I could slip fit them to the headers and not have to worry about a flange dragging on everything. They welded it up and made me some really cool hangars (I'll have to get some pics) and some turn downs. So I guess the answer your looking for is...

X pipe=$94.00
2, Powersticks=$147.00
Slip fit collectors, welding, hangars, and turn downs=$210.00

I have about 450 bucks, give or take some for taxes and change, all together in it aside from the headers which I got new for $390.00. Thanks again and I'm glad you guys like it. When I get the pictures I may go ahead and take another video from the inside driving around.

These mufflers have a lot of the same sound characteristics the gmmg did but without the rasp. The powersticks are very smooth sounding. The gmmg was really crackly and snappy in comparision. I went to this set up from a gmmg and to be honest, if I could do it all over again I wouldn't have wasted the money on a gmmg. Not saying its a bad system because I personaly think its the best cat back, but if you can run an x pipe...do it!
