Hey guys, I got a 2006 GT. I'm looking to bump up the exhaust to a more aggressive tone, not screaming loud like SLP loudmouths, but cleaner.

Im not sure where to begin but here's what I have planned out. Ive decided between bassani, pypes violator, or flowmaster hushpower for Axle Back. Later though, I want BBK LT headers with their shorty xpipe for the mid.

If I take one of those axle backs and purchase the BBK parts later on, will every fit with no problem? I plan to do this in my friends garage with my tools and his lift. Also, if you have any suggestions go right ahead and let me know, as I want to know other peoples opinions and stuff

The hushpowers should be significantly quieter than the others, especially the Bassani.

I presently have a Bassani catted X-pipe and flowmaster American Thunder vat-backs. It is too loud for me, the cops can hear me at quite a distance and the drone at 45-60MPH is pretty bad.
If I had it to do over, I would try the Hushpower cat-backs.

There are simply way too many axleback, X vs H pipe, catted/non-catted available to comment on but most of the forum members have theirs in their sig. It's really a personal preference.

Americanmuscle.com said the hushpowers were louder than the American thunders I think or something like that. I want a flowing exhaust that breathes nice like the magnaflow axle back but louder. So if I do the hushpower cat-backs and get bbk LT headers with their mid xpipe, it's not going to fit or is it?

Here is your problem. If you buy a axle back that sounds great now as soon as you add longtubes the tone is gonna change big time. You will then probably have to change your mufflers again. Do the headers first then the muffs.

^ This.

If you are really wanting to do an axleback first though, I'd suggest finding some videos of the BBK LTs and x pipe with the various axlebacks you have on your list to get an idea of how it will sound. Otherwise, just like 808muscle said you may end up not liking the sound and have to change the axlebacks again.

I see. So basically the only problem there will be with all this is only the way it will sound. I should find a more muffled exhaust like magnaflow I guess to compensate for the LT headers noise. What are some good setups that have aggressive clean tones but not screaming loud?

I have borla stingers, with my stock pipes it was a deep growl. I did a lot video hunting before I decided. I have pypes o/r h now and it had a nice idle. Now it has frpp cams and I'm looking into longtubes. I have a few videos I can post when I'm home..

How does all the pipe fitting work though? Like Let's say I go bbk long tubes & bbk xpipe (which obviously fit together) but then the axle back will be a different brand, for example let's say, bassani

axelbacks connect to the overaxel pipes, completely seperate from headers and a mid pipe.
