Mistake with MAC exhaust. Need advice
I installed a Pypes O/R H pipe and MAC mufflers on my 08 about 2 weeks ago. I totally LOVE the sound of it outside the car but inside, the drone, trumpeting and resonating is driving me nuts.
This afternoon I left the O/R H pipe but replaced the MAC muffs with the factory mufflers. Its just a little louder than factory but not much.
I want that old school muscle car rumble without all the droning and resonating grinding on my nerves. What would ya'll suggest?
I was thinking Boomtubes since I heard there weren't bad with the droning. I don't mind the exhaust being loud outside the car but not inside.
Should Ireinstall the factory H and cats and add Boomtubes or leave the O/R H and add Boomtubes?
I'm open to other suggestions as long as its a deep rumble and not a raspy nascar sound.
Thanks.

The Pypes Violators are quite loud with the off-road H pipe and no drone. They drone just a bit with the cats in place, but none with the off road H pipe. They sound great as well. Plus, they're cheap, so if you don't happen to like them, you aren't out a pile of cash.

RE: Mistake with MAC exhaust. Need advice
Thanks deekum1627, thats a nice color on your ride too 
I just listened to some vid clips of the pypes mid muffler and the violators. They both sound pretty good but I wonder how they are inside the car.
Its not always easy to tell with vid clips though. Thats how I picked my setup now. Like I said, outside the car I think the O/R H and MAC muffs sound perfect. Just the droning is annoying. I want something with the same sound just less drone and resonating.
