Exhaust Ideas?
I'm heavily leaning towards Boomtubes, but just wanted to get some second opinions before I pull the trigger. The sound I am looking for is deep, rumbling, and loud...keep in mind I have shorty headers and a catted H. Anything else out there that I should look at? Mid-mufflers? Just wondering what will give me the best sound with my setup.

Hey bro I think that the 3" Magnaflow Magnapack Catbacks will give you the sound your looking for and should add a few ponies as well. If you want I am willing to meet up with you in person (we live close to each other) and let you hear it on the same Bullitt H-Pipe you are going to get as well. It is BY FAR the deepest your gonna get without removing the cats. Just PM me if you want to check them out. I wouldn't mind seeing your car in person either its sick.

I personally think the Mac's sound awesome. I had the SLP's but am switching to the Mac a/b. I have heard them quite a few times with different setups and they sound perfect. They have nice deep tone, and a great sound at idle.

Honestly, I have never heard Boom Tubes in person I have seen videos, but what I do know is that I had Borla Stingers which are pretty close to Boomtubes from what I understand and the 3" Magnaflows Blow them OUT of the water. Also sorry it took me so long to reply, and sorry to read about your tranny on S197 this morning =( hope you can get it fixed bro.

Mid muffler sounds awesome with my shorties and catted X, should sound just as good on an H. Deep, loud but not obnoxious and very little drone.
I get compliments from guys with big blocks and a GT500 owner in my club hates my exhaust because it sounds so much better then his :P

if you're looking for "deep, rumbling and loud" then boomtubes are exactly like that.
if you want to make sure you like them, just unbolt and remove your axlebacks. The boomtubes are straight pipes that very mildly smooth out the peaks of the sound waves and nothing more. So they will sound exactly like the car without mufflers except for their making the exhaust a less harsh.
I can't comment on MAC axlebacks but let us know if you like the car without mufflers as that's your best starting point being that it's free!
