O/R H pipe with a set of resonators helps clean it up and keeps the loud angry sound

no cats on the 05-08 = no good IMO. it's not smooth, it trumpets, not deep.

I'm going high-flow cats... shame these cars don't sound like the 99-04s

There's a lot of vids of our cars on youtube running without cats that sound great, it just takes the right combination of parts to get the sound your looking for.

X pipe = Raspy
H pipe = American thunder baby.

I have the Pypes offroad H plus the Flows. Getting ready to change it up to Pypes Mid Muffler System and the Pypes Offroad H. The sound clip on Brenspeed sounds amazing!

Should have went Bassani with hi flow cats. That is what I am running with my Flows and it sounds great.

RE: X-pipe w/ flowmasters= no good

I was running the O/R H with Flows. I liked it, it was rather on the loud side tho.
Then the flows started to rattle, so I sent them back for warranty and had to put the stock mufflers back on in the meantime. Well Its staying that way, I like it! A happy medium.
Had 4" tips welded on the stockers.

Stock muffs, O/R-H
