Anyone with GT's running this combo? Is it loud and how does it sound in the car?
Videos would be good too

Thanks

i had that setup on my car at one time...its loud, and fairly obnoxious, had a pretty ugly drone from 2k-3k.... people here seem like to like the newish sound of glasspack style mufflers rather than chambered, which delivers the old school sound so you'll get people saying that its boring...

but, as an alternative, i suggest an O/R prochamber with the flowpaths, its loud, deep and mean with no drone..i used to have a vid uploaded, but it looks like the site i had it hosted on is MIA...

mac cat backs sound geat with pretty much any mid pipe, but IMO, an o/r h pipe sounds the best...

You might want to look in to a strait through style muffler with the x pipe. The mac catback is loud!

It's not a Mac X pipe, but it's close. UPR catless X and Mac catback. In these videos it is dumped over the axle (tail-pipes aren't connected). It sounds the same, just a little higher pitched and the drone is not as bad with the tails on.

I suggest it, it's a good and loud setup.

I am the second car revving in the video:

I’m running Hooker long tubes, o/r X pipe, and a MAC catback and I don’t think it’s that load. Actually I think it’s a little quiet.
