I have the 05-10 Flowmaster axlebacks, they do sound nice and it felt like there was a small gain(though not very noticeable). However, I wish I could have gone a different route. I hear borla and SLP make great sounding exhaust. Hope you find something you like.

Hows about a quick exhaust vid Hogass? Im gonna do something real soon myself. Ya'll may laugh, but I was REAL impressed with the 'straight pipe" vids I saw on Youtube. I really really really doubt Id ever go that route, but it did sound pretty good, for real cheap 
BTW... sorry for the mini-hijack OP, Im just in the same boat as you. As much as I wanna do the cai/tune first (then gears), I gotta get some noisemakers on there

Thanks buddy! The other forum has a lotta great info! IDK WTF I wanna do! Lol. Ive been real set on the FM Force2 setup, but now Im thinking about the full catback with the 2.5" piping. I may get a quote from my exhaust guy to see what he'll charge to run all his own piping, weld in mufflers (w/e brand I go with), and probably just reuse the stock tips. He's done all my work in the past, so he may cut me a deal If thats the case, I may try n get a set of 4" tips to fill up that space.
Im really trying to talk myself outta going the whole "muffler delete" route. I just feel its the cheap way out, but damn it sounds good from the vids Ive seen! Any opinions for/against that?

I wouldn't do the muffler delete because you'll lose power due to lack of back pressure. Just pick out the mufflers and/or tips you like and take them to your guy to weld up with 2.5" stainless steel. Just make sure he doesn't eliminate the joint areas in case you decide to go with a catback later. That way you can just bolt it in on your own instead of a second trip to the muffler guy. Just insurance in case you aren't happy with your custom one or just want a change later on.

That's the exact exhaust I'm looking to get. I'd love to hear what it sounds like in person. So far I've only heard the Borla Atack and a muffler delete I believe.
