I just looked at it your car sounds good

Looks like i have some spintechs in the future. over the winter i'm going to try to get my heads then I'll order the spintechs and some polished tails.

Sounds good, just remember the whole exhaust will play a role in the sound. Dumps help echo off the pavement more so than tailpipes would. Also the LTs change the tone. From what I gather, they will be quieter down low and cruising, but louder in the high RPM.

I have shorties, catted X, MAC mufflers and flowmaster 3" tailpipes and i LOVE the sound. Ive toyed with going SLP mufflers, but i really like the sound.

My bother has the same setup as far as catted X and shorties go, but he's got a magnaflow cat back. With the two cars parked together running, you can't even hear his. And mine isn't even all that loud!

My car got quieter when i went to longtubes into 3" x-pipe into 2.5" dumped spintechs, then i put the built motor in and couldnt stand the spintechs. But i loved the way they sounded on my mild 302 with a blower, you wont be dissapointed. If you go on youtube and search "the life cycle of a tire" you can hear my car with spintechs

Basanni

Basanni sounds great with the xpipe and flow well too. That's what I have and get many compliments. I've got some clips on you tube you can check out. I need to put some better ones up there where I really take off. See YouTube - vboccanf's Channel. Its really a very subjective thing. Your best bet is to listen to clips online and decide what you like best.

I have a video online of my car with Long Tubes, O/R X and dumped Spintechs. It's somewhere on YouTube.

You;ve heard a million times but,...... Car sounds amazing and looks beautiful! Are your spintechs dumped right after muffler or a little further out?

Two chamber flowmasters with a off road H pipe are still the best

I had a set of three chambered flows on a O/R H and it drove me nuts! they were dumped and it was loud as hell in the car. everyone told me they sounded good, i just told them to drive it for a week and they'd change their minds.
after putting the cat back magnaflow kit on my wifes car (01 gt) today i give it a big

magnaflows sound better on the newer modular motors and the ls1 gm motors..... i havent heard any magnaflows on a fox except for one guy who was at beach cruise last spring..... but he was catted and long tubes.

im thinking of going slp personally. ive got flows on mine right now with bbk x pipe and im so tired of the sound i need something more agressive and annoying...... ive got an outstanding grudge with my neighbors. I can say this much slps with a catted x pipe..... takes that sharp high end edge off of em' and makes them sound realllllllllll good.

I've got unequal length shorties, bassani offroad x and magnaflow CB. Get tons of compliments and love the fact I can drive by a cop an they don't harass, and when I'm on the loud pedal I get kicked off the track after ten. Only after the rest of my combo did I acquire a drone but it's not prevalent either.

Although magnaflow is hands down my preference as it makes more power per the shootouts I've seen, I think I equally appreciate Bassani CB as well. They would be my second choice.
