Well I don't get paid again until February so I'll have to wait till then, gotta make my money last till then. I've heard lots of good stuff about the SLP LoudMouth, even though I've heard their headers kinda suck. My neighbor has a borla on his TA and I think it sounds kinda gross, but it could just be his setup. I've got the custom flowmaster on mine, I know they're supposed to suck, but everyone that has heard it loves the sound, and even I think it sounded rather mean even with the manifolds. They're all so expensive though, its crazy.

Also, What about a Custom Built Catback? I have no problem building my own, I can do exhaust work. I'm just trying to get my exhaust from my ORY out the back of the car. Whats some of the best custom setups yall have heard?

I'd really like to put it out the back for appearance reasons, I kinda feel that dumped under the car is kinda redneck.

I've never understood why people seem to freak over the price of a GMMG exhaust, when Borla etc. are just as much, if not more.

I agree. I have gmmg myself, and on all the cars I've had, it sounds the best. Its a little loud, but I can't complain.

the only thing other than slp2otl would be to get a cutout and a BULLET racemuffler right before the cutout. those sound very mean.

After doing a little work under the car today I think I'm gonna keep the one I've got unless it sounds like ***.

I've never heard of putting a muffler before the cutout... Does it quiet it down? And Will it cut power vs. not having a muffler before it?

[QUOTE=RickyMartinZ28;8462881] I've got the custom flowmaster on mine, I know they're supposed to suck, but everyone that has heard it loves the sound, and even I think it sounded rather mean even with the manifolds./QUOTE]

everyone that's heard my exhaust has said it sounds really mean, I like it, but then it also has a lot of raspyness to it when it gets mid rpm if I'm no gettin it, after hearing that cammed magnaflow clip, and what I've been hearing about the flowmaster not flowing, I'm thinking I'm gonna go with a magnaflow. The 2 OTL sounds nice, but seems very loud, just my .02

Mine has always been really loud at idle, and seems to calm down about 1500-3000k and then gets louder after that...

I had a flowmaster on when i first did my LT's and ory and it sounded pretty mean at idle but a little weak under load and it really felt like the flowmaster was holding it back. When i switched to the hooker cat back i could feel a huge difference.

I'll eventually do something different I'm sure. I just paid for the Spring semester and dumped about 1k into the car in maintanence and exhaust junk.

I have LT/ORY through a 2otl. To be honest I really don't like how it sounds. At idle and WOT it sounds great, but on a mild acceleration it gets a bad rasp and I am wanting to get rid of it. I am thinking about doing a Borlamouth setup, or maybe just a Borla C/B.

Yours has the silencer (cone) in it. Take it out and it will sound even better.

Oh yeah, +1 on the 2OTL.
