I love the 3.73s so far they are my favorite mod next to the xpipe. But im going home this weekend from college so ill see if i can put up a clip of my borlas with the xpipe tomorrow.

So you just want mind numbing DB's?
Race bullets
Spintech's
Stingers
1 chamber flows
magnapacks ( sound great and rip with some RPM's but aren't nearly as loud as the others)

If i was you i woudl go for the Magnaflow Magnapacks ,they are loud ,but not an annoying loud. They sound GREAT and are nto to loud on the highway. I have them and i get lots of comments on them ,and the tips they come with look great If you a going to decide to get headers and a catted h 0r x pipe you might want to think again about the magnapacks ,cuz with headers and cats it sounds almost like a race car

When I had my 96GT I had a MAC high flow cat H-pipe with the MAC catback and was VERY happy with the sound.

I recommend SLP Loudmouth catback with a Catted H-pipe (possibly MRT, although they are expensive)
