Wooooah there big fella. What he said was a little harsh but not unheard of in these here parts (MF). Prolly just a little humor that came across wrong is all.
Though we are, to say the least, a little skeptical of the outcome you posted. Before/after dyno sheet would be fantastic!

it was dyno'd before and after.

I gained 75HP and 92 lb/ft TQ the other day when I installed my side stripes. I can't believe the hood scoop only added 42HP though?

I am not sure how much horsepower gain you would get but I would think if you went to a larger (3') exhaust from the factory 2.5", the engine would breathe a little better and give a increase in horsepower.

RE: Not a loud exhaust
To the original poster - I wanted the same thing you are looking for and decided on Corsa axlebacks based on discussions on this forum. If you search you will find tons of threads on this (and opinions) but fresh input never hurts They say in the Corsa ad that they will give you 13 HP but, again, based on what I have read on this forum, that is questionable. Good luck whatever you decide on.

[sm=icon_rofl.gif]Holy crapp, you guys crack me up........way too much testosterone in this room!!![sm=icon_rofl.gif]
To the original post, I really like my FRPP Borla GT Stingers. Someare in the opinion that they have too much drone but, like you, I wanted something loud but not too loud; drone doesnt seem to bother me!!
I live in a neighborhood with many retirees so that was a little important to me.All I have is the axle back, nothing else and I think they sound great! JMO

I have BASSANI SS Race axlebacks, then I got crazy and put on a o/r h-pipe...way to freakin loud plus trumpeting and many other unwanted sounds. I threw on some 18" resonators and it is still loud and deep but now no death threats from the neighbors

RE: Not a loud exhaust
Get the GTA's or Corsa ... a nice bump but not too loud like you're looking for and no drone.
As for gaining horsepower on a GT, most people don't see any gains. I know the v6'ers gain HP ... perhaps that other guy is a v6er? Either way, do the upgrade for sound and you'll be happy. Do the upgrade for HP and you might be disappointed.
