How will it sound? Will I still get any horsepower? Will it still be loud enough for people to turn their heads?

I've got an X pipe with the stock mufflers and it's definately a louder than stock sound. I bought the car this way so I saw the X pipe up on the lift but never took the time to photo it and figure out the brand/model/etc..

Especially in the 3k - 3.5k highway cruising range.. It just has this growl that makes you want more.

We did that exact setup on my friends '01 GT.....was loud, but sounded like crap....you really need to at least cut new mufflers in. His sounded loud, rattled, and muffled all at the same time if you can imagine. Good Luck

Blah, I can't win! lol I have the dynomax bullets and an O/R x on it and it sounds like crap, LOUD crap, but crap. I want loud, but not ear piercing loud, and nice rumble. And I'm running out of money, I can't afford to buy ANOTHER set of mufflers

I dont have an X pipe, but rather an H pipe with stock mufflers. I think it sounds awesome. I really like it. Its just as quiet as stock at idle, but anytime you press the gas it screams. A noticeable increase in power as well. When I do my headswap and longtubes im gonna add a prochamber at the same time. I'll get some kind of a catback to go along with all that. (keeps dreaming of that day)
