I went with Flowmaster Delta 50's on my 2003 GT...I have had them for 3 1/2 years with no complaints...They roar when you nail it but are very drivable...My neighbors appreciate them I'm sure...
That is not what I wanted to hear. I don't care about much about small hp increases/decreases. I just want her to be quieter that the MAC Flowpaths on there now. Your saying your Magnaflows are loud? That's not so nice. Maybe I should have went with the Borla Pro XS mufflers.
I ordered a set of Magnaflow Mufflers (#3 on list) part #11236. Waiting to see how they sound installed with a MAC Pro Chamber and MAC catback (now to be a hybrid catback).
Sound Off in Quietest to Loudest (Decibels):
1.Borla XS, 80db at idle, 90db at 2,000 rpm, 110db at WOT.
2.Hooker Maxflow, 80db at idle, 90db at 2,000 rpm, 120db at WOT.
3.Magnaflow, 82db at idle, 91 at 2,000 rpm, 114db at WOT.
4.Flowmaster, 82db at idle, 93 at 2,000 rpm, 115db at WOT.
5.Flowtech Warlock, 83db at idle, 92 at 2,000 rpm, 112db at WOT.
6.Dynomax UltraFlo, 83db at idle, 94 at 2,000 rpm, 113db at WOT.
7.Borla XR1, 83db at idle, 96db at 2,000 rpm, 118db at WOT.
8.Bassani Street, 83db at idle, 96db at 2,000 rpm, 120db at WOT.
9.Edelbrock RPM, 84db at idle, 93db at 2,000 rpm, 118db at WOT.
10.Bassani Real Street, 84db at idle, 96db at 2,000 rpm, MAX. (120+db).
11.Flowtech Afterburner, 86db at idle, 94db at 2,000 rpm, 115db at WOT.
12.Flowtech Terminator, 86db at idle, 94db at 2,000 rpm, 119db at WOT.
13.Hooker Aerochamber, 87db at idle, 94db at 2,000 rpm, 114db at WOT.
14.SpinTech, 87db at idle, 97db at 2,000 rpm, 116db at WOT.

16.No Muffler, 91db at idle, 103db at 2,000 rpm, MAX. (120+db).
FYI - Magnaflows have offset in and out, Magnapacks are literally straight thru.
And is Mac really that loud? If so, I'm definately going with a Mac catback.
Where's SLP? And is Mac really that loud? If so, I'm definately going with a Mac catback.

True, but to clarify... Straight through refers to the fact that there is no redirection of exhaust flow (chamber), or flow through muffling material (like a catalytic converter for example). The way a magnaflow muffler works is it's a pipe (bent or straight doesn't matter, it's still "straight-thru") with HUNDREDS of tiny little holes drilled in it, then that pipe is encased with fiber dampening material, which is then encased in an alloy case (the muffler). Amount of sound dampening depends on size of the muffler and shape of the case.
Magnaflows sound badass, Borla XS sound sick too - never heard the hookers.

what about the Steeda catback? Is it as quiet as Steeda claims?
I want to run the MAC catback with my LT's, but I if I get Germany as my next assignment, this GT is coming with me. I don't know what the noise restrictions are in that case
