its tricky-our exhaust. you will never know till you try. i have changed my exhaust 5 times. and the sad thing is....i am not happy with what i now have. live and learn.
a guy in town copied anothers exhaust that sounded so bad azz in his sound clip, but when scott got it, he hated it. wierd huh?

I have the WS6 takeoff on my car. Sounds nice, no interior resonance. On my car its louder than a stock LS1 car. But then again i've heard people complain that the takeoff sounded terrible on their car.

I really like my Edelbrock cat back, very mellow at 2500 to 3500 and no rasp at 5500.

How mellow? how loud is it? does it have the infamous nasty POPING that is most noticable in flowmaster?

Edelbrock, Dynomax and Flowmaster are probably the 3 cheapest catbacks out there.

Mellow is subjective therefore, do not know what adjectives to use, not as mellow as a V8, but very close from inside. Loudness is moderate in that it very identifiable on the track for my son to know the shift points and to treat revs carefully in the neiborhood.
I have not tried instant message since my typing skills are kindegarden as is my spelling.
