SLP headers, no cats, flowmaster. Sounds awesome IMO. A little too loud with cutout open for everyday driving

My set up includes: FLP longtubes, no cats, DMH cutout, SLP TOTL.

With the cut-out closed,I think it could be a little louder but it's just right. Not obnoxiously loud but not too quiet. Now with the cut-out open it is a totally different story. It's way too loud for the street IMO. My next door neighbor is a car guy too and every time I start it up he comes out to watch. He likes the lope of the cam. One time I opened the cut-out for him and threw a rev, he nearly pissed himself. He was grinning from ear to ear.

JBA+y-pipe, Catco 3", SLP LM with dynomax magnum muffler, and cutout. With cutout close it sounds mild, but uncap it's wild.

Jet Hot coated Hooker LTs with purple horny header mufflers.
I actually shortened the hornies to fit a little better under the car and added O2 bungs.
Idle or just cruising its really not as bad as most people think it would be but WOT you really should wear ear plugs.
I love it but then again I don,t drive the car everyday.

Jet Hot LT's, Carsound Cats, Custom 3" y-pipe, and a SLP Loudmouth. Sounds amazing. Aggressive and perfect tone

I have had my windshield bashed in twice since the
mac headers/no cat/open cutout combo , needless to say the cap went on after this weekends incident, and it sounds way too quiet going through that stock muffler

Hooker LT headers, 3" side exit true duals - carsound highflow cats, twin cutouts, car chemistry insert mufflers - with a 4000 stall to keep the RPM and the volume up.

I love it loud, but my employer made me stop using the parking garage at work
