I run PS LT's, ORY into an SLP shotgun resonator. Nothing after the resonator, let me tell you, it is LOUD. This car is 95% strip car only hits the streets occasionally. If it was a street only car i would definitely change this set up its that loud.

I drove my car once with a completely stock exhaust (manifolds, cats, I pipe) with the muffler off. It was absolutely unbearably loud. And not in a good way either, it sounded like crap. I could never drive a car like that on a daily basis. I barely made it two miles from the shop to my house without getting pulled over. A nice free flowing muffler or catback like Magnaflow will not rob much power if any, will sound a zillion times better, and keep you out of trouble, especially on a daily driver or frequently street driven car.

my car only has manifolds and one cat and !muffler and its pretty loud Its louder than my friends mustang with full exhaust It has a deep throaty tone down low with the slight gurgle coming off the throttle which I love. Up top it SCREAMS. Cops don't say much around here cause all the have 4x4's with straight pipes

My 94 is running shorties and a magnaflow. It sounds amazing. Formula413 you may remember what it sounded like when I was in Connecticut at some of the cruises on the Berlin TP. The Magnaflow is fairly quite until 2800-3000. I've gotten many compliments on it.

I had my old Burban with no exhaust after the Y (no cat) and it sounded horrible lol Cat wouldn't help tone it down much either. Just get a Magnaflow roundie and that'll help some. I had basically that, but over the axle into that and dumped. It sounded like NASCAR lol Was my DD and I put up with it for about 5 months till I got a flowie. I love my current exhaust. I'd remove the cat, but it'd change the tone and I don't want that heh

never heard straight pipes on a f-body but i have a friend with a cobra and he has straight pipes. sounds sick on his car. but for our cars im an advocate for the SLP LM.
