Default Serious Buissness

Alright guys, i have made multiple exhuast posts with questions regarding cats, no cats, exhuast...ect. Anyway this is my plan and choices. any reccomendations with these setups.

I have the pypebomb exhuast already and it is a loud axleback but its not aggressive enough.

so i think i am just going to get LTs. Questions. which setup is better.
-JBAs with a catted H pipe
-BBKs with a catted X pipe

Am i going to notice horsepower that i can feel, and which sound will be better, what will it sound like ect...Im stuck but LTs are the best way to go just gota save the money. Each setup will run me around a 1k.


Really appriciate the feedback

I dont see how this is Tech related...

you should youtube search for different sounds and see what you like...and long tubes are the way to go. I have the JBA's

Im confused in all that babbling, so you made a whole post because you cant decide between a catted x or catted H? Facepalm.

IMO if you want headers that will last the life of the car, fit properly and make the most power go with American Racing headers. I just installed a set and they sounds great when floored and quiet when cruising on the highway. I have Bullitt mufflers and there is no drone. I have catted X. there is no need to go without cats on a street car especially if you live in a state with emissions inspections. ARH are the only long tubes that are full length. As for you cam upgrade to take full advantage of their power you will need long tubes anyway and a set of gears.

IMO, not a lot of sense doing LT's without cams since the 2 really compliment one another well. LT's alone might gain you some seat-of-the-pants RWHP, depending on if you lose the cats or go with hi-flows. Sound is a matter of personal preference.
