There are so many freaking muffler posts on here it is out of control. I thought I'd make a suggestion to help some of you novice modders out a bit...

...because novice modders turn in to professional modders after the addiction sets in.

If you're eventually going to put LT headers on your ride, save yourself a few bucks and don't replace your mufflers yet. You can put that $ towards the LT's and get more HP out of the deal!

Your exhaust will sound so much better and you still won't have any drone. I wish someone told me this because after all my modding, the car gotobnoxiously for a daily driver. So, I put the stockers back on and love it.

eh....i put stingers on my car right away......i still have them today with LTS and o/r h pipe.....never regret any of it either as long as you dont have loudmouths, boomtubes or pretty much a muffler delete its not going to be terribly loud for most people

Loud enough that your new neighbors (I just moved) complain when your start it up and go to work in the morning.

I installed FRPP Stingers a couple of weeks back and the sound still gives me shivers! Gad, I love the sound! I'm still driving around with the radio off and the windows down, even in 90 degree heat!

I agree completely with the original post. I have long tube headers with high flow cats and an x-pipe. I put them on about a year ago and continued to use the stock mufflers. Since my only goal was power output I choose this route because the stock mufflers flow as well as just about all the other choices out there. The stock mufflers sounded really good with my setup and I had zero drone.
It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that I swapped out the stock mufflers for the FRPP M-5230-GTAs and only because I really like the tips. A bonus was that these mufflers sound great with the LT setup I have.
Basically the only reason to change the stock mufflers is if you want to change the sound or look of the tips. No power to be gained.

I'm doing that too...except it's 95 degree heat here with about 70%-90% humidity.
