I was thinking something kinda awkward but check it...

What if I cut my exhaust a few inchess after my flowmasters? As far as physical appearance, it would look sick with some FAT *** tires with no tail pipes BUT sound wise...help me out idk...lol

For me, that's not deep enough, its just loud but it still sounds nice!

I will look around at them again, but it seemed flowmasters (American thunder) with Mac o/r h pipe was louder,deeper,stronger. What would you suggest, What H Pipe, etc? mac all the way?

im looking for a catback too, not right away becuase i just paided off my pi swap, lol. I have mac long tubes and o/r h and its not bad with the stock catback... Its very quite at idle however. you only here it roar above 2 krpm...

i like the magnaflow sound i think, flowmaster seems to be everywhere and I enjoy the sound but i dont like sounding like everyone else too.

Everyone and their brother has flowmasters with an o/r h pipe...wonder why??? Because it sounds awesome. I dont like h pipes however so i went with an o/r x pipe to give it more of a racecar sound. O/r x pipe and flowmaster catback still sounds deep and has that awesome flowmaster sound to it. I'd make a video of it but its at the body shop back home and im at college right now. If you can wait a week, i can make it for you and post it up.

That video you posted was flows with an o/r h, and macs with a catted h. Big difference on sound. Macs with an o/r h will sound better(deeper,louder) than flows with an o/r h. I've had both combos.

Unfortunately you are an owner of a 98 b$stard child, wlecome!
Unique fuel system and totally different exhaust system. Only two or three companies have a specific 98 GT exhaust catback which includes Flowmaster American Thunder which I run with L/T's
