I'm thinking about changing my cat back. I have BBK shorties,Catted X,and race bullets welded into my dynomax catback. The car sounds good but i think it could personally use a better tone. Right now I'm considering spintechs or mac's. What would you guys put on a x-pipe car?

I have the Pypes Violators cat back on my car now. they are a little loud with your foot in it but with a catted X they would probably be just right.
talk to Slapyo on here about some magnaflows, I ordered a set for the wifes car and i hear they install well and sound great.

What's nice about my setup is it has inserts you can put the tips so if your going on a long drive and want to keep it mellow you can throw them in or if you feel like being loud and waking the neighbors up leave them out

I run the Anderson FMS 1 3/4 shorties with a Bassani X pipe and Bassani Quiet thunder cat-back. From outside of the car, it does sound great! My only complaint is that right around 2000 rpm, I get an in-car drone that will rattle your brain.

This same setup under the original stock motor, was very quiet until I got on the gas. The new motor, cam, and headers etc... THAT'S when I got the 2000 rpm drone (it's very annoying).

My plan is to swap out the catted X for an H-pipe to see if I can get that drone further up in the RPM range. Having that right at cruise RPM suxxorz very much bad.

i will never run anything besides magnaflow now.

zero drone/resonating inside.
install great, quality pieces.
sound is awesome at cruise, pretty quiet but you know its there.
screams pretty good when you stand on it.

to me nothing sounds better than good old flowmasters... some of the other brands are nice too though. I'm just old skool i guess! I don't care for the SLP exhaust though.. makes the car sound too much like a Cheby to me!
