what exhaust setup do you guys think will be too loud on a vert? I know a couple of you will say none, but I need some opinions. i have been leaning toward slp, but id like to be able to have a conversation at cruising speeds. I don't mind loud at wot and I love the rumble, i just don't want to go overboard.- thanks

How is this not your average exhaust question? Its exactly your average exhaust question. But to answer your average question SLP is pretty much the loudest exhaust u can get, Bassani is a nice mellow tone little raspy for my taste. You would probably like magnapacks nice deep rumble at idle and down low but screams at WOT or Flowmaster is a good choice also. If u dont want to loud I would get a catted mid-pipe also.

NOT no, i asked how the exhaust would be with a convertible which is different. maybe i'm wrong but i thought a hard top would stop more sound and change it more then a vert with the top down. I was asking so maybe someone with a convertible could speak from experience. I'd like to figure out the loudest I can go and still enjoy having the top down and cruising with music and whatnot. basically, if I had a coupe, i'd get slp no doubt about it.

Speaking from experience.... because I have a vert...matsm21 said:
When the top is down you can't really here the stereo that well unless it's up LOUD. I have a sub and a few other goodies and it's not so bad while driving but still not as nice as the coupe system sounds.
If your looking for a cat-back that isn't too loud you do NOT want SLP. No ill feelings towards SLP becuase I wouldn't mind having it, but it's LOUD. For a nice sounding cat-back that isn't going to kill the little stereo sound you have go with a chambered muffler. The Bassani and Magnaflow are not that bad at idle and only drone around 2200 RPM's and SCREAM at WOT. They both have a nice deep tone although the Bassani has a more exotic sound. As for being raspy, it's not. When mated with an X pipe, maybe but you'll get that with most cat backs when mated with an X. I have had flows on my car and now the Bassani. I have ridden in cars with pretty much every cat back except the FRPP and MAC.
chambered muffler = less aggressive tone
straight through desing = more aggressive tone
The choice is yours and I hope your happy with whatever you decide to get. If you can find some people with after market cat-backs, give them a listen.
I would have to agree with the others that said Magnaflows, not the Magnapacks. I have the 'Packs on my vert with the Pro-Chamber and it sounds mean as hell. However, if you are looking to have a conversation in the car, go with the regular Magnaflows. I don't care to have too many conversations in my car, that happens when I stop. But if you lean more to the "Scare the crap out of little kids when you rev it", then go with the Magnapacks.
