OK, I'm trading in my V6 in about a month, give or take a week, for a 01-04 GT. I found a nice 03 black one, but I'm not set on it yet. But anyway, here's my question.

Now I hope this doesn't start an arguement, cause in the V6 section they fight like little girls, but I have an exhaust question. That and a short throw are the first thing I'm doing to the GT, and I wanted to know which exhaust is the best. I'm torn between SLP (and what's the difference between I and II?), Flows, and Magnapacks. I'm looking for a loud, growly sound, which is something I'll just never get from the missing two cylinders. So what do you guys think?

I would go Bassani, Magnaflow or packs, or Borla if you have the extra dough. The Magnaflow will be the cheapest besides the flows.

Well, Borla's out of the question cause I'm not spending $900 on a catback. And do you mean Magnaflows or Magnapacks?

You can have the stingers shipped to your door for $615 FYI... And with million mile warranty take them off and pass them down to your great grand children!

Well, I have MAC on the sixer, and I'm getting sick of the sound. I know it's V6 vs V8, but still.

So I guess it's between SLP 1's and Flows. Any more help in deciding?

Oh, and I see a lot about MGW shifters. Are they better than the Steeda Tri-Ax?

I went a little off the beatn' path with a Mag true x-overonly and 10 series Flowmaster race mufflers with custom mandrel bent 2.5" tubes after therear cats. I'm in CA so I still have all 4 cats. I like it. Nice tone puttering around but load as hell when your put your foot in it.

Get magnapacks with off road xpipe. its loud and has a pretty deep sound. get it from www.hottexhaust.com but you have to call them to get a deal cause their online prices aren't the best so if you call you can get both for a little under $700
