Default I need input on this setup

Hello all [/B]

I have a 2000 Pontiac Formula

How would the Magnaflow cat-back system and longtube hooker Header sound???

I know how the SLP loud mouth and the hooker headers setup sound .(pretty loud)
[B]
In comparison would the (Magna + Hook) set up sound a lot mellower or would it be pretty close.

There are two Magnaflow catback systems for the LS1 T/A, right?
15684 & 16723?

How much did you guys pay for your Mangaflow catbacks?
I know that ws6store sells them for $454.50 & $672.95.
but found them for $486 (Or Best Offer) & $705.63 (or best offer) elsewhere... (I'm not gonna link to it, since I don't think they're sponsors).


my question is which system do most of you guys go with?
& how much would a "reasonable offer" be on one of these systems.?
