So here's what I got in mind, since the stock cats do sound better with exhausts I heard, and I don't want to upgrade to hi flow cats for the ricey sound, i'm going to basically install the stock system smog it, then reinstall this system for daily driving..

Pacesetter Long Tube Headers
JBA Off Road H Pipe (GT)
Option A) Go to an exhaust shop and ask for some 2 1/2 " Piping and pretty much have them connect the SLP Loudmouth's to them.
Option B) Include the Pypes Bomb Super System Catback Exhaust (GT)
Option C) MAC Catback (V6)

Which will will sound the best?

Have you looked online at video clips? Maybe someone has the same combos you're looking at, maybe not. However, I don't believe anyone here has any of those exact combos so none of us will be able to tell you exactly what it will sound like and which will be the best. I'm thinking the SLP's might be too raspy at higher rpm, the Pypes I don't like and Mac sounds pretty clean. Basing my decisions off of these vids:

I'd go for the SLPs.

Wow, those SLP's had me questioning if that was really a sixxer! That's what's up!

Instead of blowing money on SLP's just have a shop bend pipes back...toss some 3" pipes and have them make a muffler delete up. Will sound the same, if not better, and cost way less.

So this is what i'm going to do..

Kooks Long Tube Headers (yes they now have a V6 Set)
Kooks Catted Y-Pipe (must use to work with there headers)
Then the MAC Catback. I'm sure this will give it a deep throaty sound!

and I should be smog ready? I know i'll fail visual but i'll pass smog with this setup?

Higher Octane better the smog is, so I plan on going 91 when I smog it.

what's a muffler delete? Just wondering

GCCBrian

Basically if you go behind your car, you'll see a big rectangular looking metal piece before the tip of the exhaust, that is a muffler, which basically baffles the sound. A muffler delete setup would look like this..

Hope this helps!

so you mean that big box thing under my bumper is a muffler? I thought it was a reserve fuel tank...guess I shouldn't have filled it with gas than huh. lol..I've never seen a muffler delete or heard of them. of course, everyone around me has jacked up trucks with the loudest flow masters they can find. so it's basically what I thought it was..Thanks

GCCBrian

This is a muffler..

As you see in the video, there is a rectangular shaped metal muffler before the exhaust tips?

That is the muffler, it's what baffles the sound.

CoupeKiller

oh..so all this time that's what it was..so it's probably not a good idea to fill it with gasoline than huh...shoot guess I'll stop doing that. Thanks for the info.
