Thanks for the quick replies everyone.

I'm looking at either the Pypes Loudmouth, Pypes Pype-Bomb, or the Flowmaster American Thunder. I've listened to those on YouTube and seem to be the best sounding ones for the price. I'm looking to stay in the $250-$350 range.

Is American Muscle the best place to buy these?

I have a '10 GT and this will be my first mod.

I have the same mufflers he is selling. I love them. Just ignore the silly cams thumping. Listen to the sound. There's no drone and they sound awesome when you get on it.

I am selling my borla stingers if your interested off my 2010 gt. PM me if your interested!!

Make sure that with whatever axleback you go with ITS FOR THE 2010. I learned that the hard way when I bought a roush exhaust for the 05-09's and the tips didnt fit right

I am also selling a brand new offroad x pipe if you want yours to sound like my 2010 did ;]

Thanks again for all the comments. I appreciate the good advice.

Will installing new exhaust do anything to my factory warranty? And do adding x-pipes require a tune setup? I'm new to modding.

And Grabber Blue…that sounds awesome. Wow. Very tempting. I'll think about that setup.

No nothing voids your warranty, and the only time you will need a tune is if you install longtubes. I have a trick to get away with an o/r x pipe this way it doesnt throw a CEL cause of the no cats. Trust me the 2005-10's are 100000x easier to mod than the 2011-2012's, I cant even tune my car without voiding the warranty =[

Thanks again for that information.

Questions that are answered only lead to more questions...

How "easy" is it to do the exhaust work myself? I have a fair assortment of wrenches that usually sit in the toolbox until I need to assemble something my wife bought and I have a jack and stands. I used to tinker on my '65 coupe 25 or so years ago when I first got my license. I can turn a wrench the right direction and follow instructions, but I'm not a gearhead by any stretch.

I've read comments on the various exhausts and some seem to struggle getting them to fit right. I don't have a welder or anything beyond my Craftsman tools.

Also, I've read that some exhausts lose their note after a 1,000 miles or so. Is that a big concern? Any that I should stay away from?

I certainly appreciate the feedback. I hope to someday be able to contribute to the knowledge base instead of just pulling from it.

Thanks again.
