Default Looking For More Aggressive sound

I have the FRPP Stingers, I thought they were okay when I first installed them. Now I think I would like it to be a little more aggressive sounding. Should I add a X Pipe? I want to keep the cats since we have a yearly emissions inspection here in PA. Any suggestions, would the FRPP x pipe give me a more aggressive sound?

Get a prochamber from Mac. They make prochamber that will let you use the stock cats. I want these as well but one thing at a time right?

I love the sound of Stingers. But I think at higher rpm, they become subdued. Based on youtube vids, I ordered a catted x-pipe to go with my stingers. I think that's a good combination of deep rumble at low rpm and screaming at higher rpm.

With the pro-chamber, what do you put in place of your mufflers, a straight tip?

If you're worried about inspection just get the O/R pipe and keep your stock one. On ramps it's easy to switch out in an hour. You could get inspected, get your sticker and then put it back on. I really like the way stingers sound with the pypes H. Loud and really mean!

The FRPP X would'nt be what your looking for IMO. It smooths out the exhaust note and I've heard can actually make it quieter. Either way it's not louder.

As far as a catted X, it'll give you a raspier tone and it'll make the car a good amount louder though not O/R loud.

dude I have Mac axlebacks and I'm eventually going to get the prochamber that uses your stock cats. It's been quoted as sounding nearest to the 2-valve which in my opinion was the best sounding mustang ever. I think there is a clip on you tube. One thing to note is if you get the mac midsize headers it doesn't sound as good. So I guess I will stick with the stock headers and go with the Mac prochamber and stay with my mac axlebacks.
