Default Exhaust Change...

I have had my LTs and ORY into a dynomax bullet dumped before the axel for a few months now, and i'm thinking about changing to an x-pipe but am unsure who to get it from and also what mufflers to go with! Please give me some suggestions.

You can purchase an x-pipe from Summit Racing, and as far as mufflers there are plenty of choices, depends on the sound you want... Moroso spiro flows, Flowmaster 10-chambers, Dynomax bullets, Borla XR-1, etc....

I'm open to anything at this point just like ironoutlaw said the dynomax bullet on it right now only sounds good to me at wot, so i'm looking for something that is loud but sounds good all around!

I don't know if you are good with welding and the like, but you could always make your own if you plan to do the X-Pipe install yourself. Or, I'm SURE there is at least ONE shop around that has a guy skilled enough to do an X-Pipe. I know there's a couple places by me who can. I'd think that it would be cheaper for a side-shop with a guru to do it. I had an H-Pipe put in my old Suburban and, while it's just a normal connecting pipe between the duals, it needed some work and to be bent, but it only cost me $25. He did all the work.

I don't know anything about X Pipping, but my assumption would be that 2.5 would be a bit more throaty than 3", and if you went any smaller it would add some rasp to it. I only make this comment in hopes someone will chime in with info about it, since I'm curious.
