everything about my exhaust is stock, except someone swapped some flowmaster mufflers in.

i think i like how it sounds, but its too quiet.

would an offroad midpipe make it louder?

i don't want to say setting off car alarms loud, but that would be sweet too.

I can't hear it at idle, and barely hear it revved. i've heard with others driving, while i'm outside the car, and its just quiet.

I'd like to get the SLP loudmouth 2 catback, but right now im pretty poor.

With any chambered mufflers, especially Flowmasters, definately get an off-road h. Heres a video of mine with an o/r h and American Thunder catback:

A prochamber is a good choice if you want a louder, but not attention grabbing sound.

Here's a video of my car w/ an in-car rev and idle exhaust: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e20Jzos-2EM

This is through track heat heads, mac longtubes, prochamber and catback.

I've got an extra set of longtubes and NIB prochamber I need to sell shortly.

I don't think so, they have been designed as a direct bolt on with factory O² sensor fitting locations.

dr gas x-pipe ftw. it is not just any x pipe its design is far superior to the other x pipes. the sound is better than any other midpipe. i have a friend with a 91gt that put one on his car from o/r h to dr gas xpipe and picked up 8rwhp just by switching midpipes.

Thanks man, since someone else mentioned the Prochamber, I feel like I should have mentioned before that my buddy's car (white fox) has a Prochamber and American Thunder catback for the beginning few rips, then after that he switches to Magnaflow mufflers with the Prochamber for the in-car rips, and the track footage.

And you will have no problems with the idiot lights coming on. As long as you connect the O2's back into off-road pipe, you will be fine as they are designed to accept the 02's in the factory location.

Negative...I have the stock h-pipe which I just swap in for a week or so every 2 years so I can pass emissions. If they didn't do a visual inspection, I could probably pass because I still have the rest of my smog stuff, and my levels of pollution were not even 10% of the allowed numbers.

I used to set off car alarms all the time with what I had in my sig. I would especially enjoy doing this when picking up my girlfriend at Worcester State college because the parking lot was so tight that I could get 4-5 per rev and the kids were so funny when they came sprinting out in PJs.

In terms of X, H, or Pro-chamber... I'm gonna say it really doesn't matter for the amount of power these cars make. You'll only see X pipes on NASCARS or the big horse power boys though, so if you're really looking at a few more HP then you want an X pipe. I think pro-chambers sound like crap.

Haha yea, mine sets off car alarms a lot also...especially in parking garages. Funny story: So I'm on my way to court to settle my red light ticket at 8am on a Monday morning a few months ago. Well parking in Savannah on any day of the week is a nightmare so I paid $1 to park in the parking garage. So I'm pulling into the garage, and I give it a little gas going up one one the hills and i set about 5 alarms off! Keep in mind this is when people get to work and park in the garage so there are maybe 20 people leaving their cars in their suits going to work, and there are all these alarms going off! Needless to say it was interesting walking outside the garage to the courthouse and still hearing all the alarm going off

I absolutely loved my dr. gas x-pipe when I had it on the car. I had mine mated to Spintech Pro-Streets though. With flow masters, I am not so sure I would recommend one, but I have also never heard that setup in person.

i have the mac prochamber with my magnaflow catback. I really like the sound, its pretty mellow at idle and cruising but once I get on it. It's good because it doesn't draw so much attention plus doesn't give me a headache from just driving around lol.
