You can get like a 10-series flowmaster. That would prob be loud.

I have violater mufflers from Pypes Performance and there very loud, also they very pretty cheap. I would diffently recommend them.

Even without mufflers, the car isn't that loud if the stock midpipe is still in place.

The cheapest and loudest I have heard with the stock midpipe were various chambered flowmaster knockoffs. Wicked drone at 2K RPM though.

Its a pain in the *** to put SLP mufflers into a stock catback. The factory mufflers are offset and the slps are strait. You will need to get your pipes rebent in order to make them fit. Just find some used magnaflows weld them in and then get a h pipe.

If you want the best combination of LOUDER and GOOD SOUNDING

then its tough to argue with Borla Stingers

If you want VERY LOUD and GOOD SOUNING

SLP II's

If you want LOUD but not as pleasing tone (in most peoples opinion)

SLP I's

if you want pretty loud but very GOOD SOUNDING

Bassanni seems like a good choice

its all preference though man, good luck making sense of any of what i said

lol, I totally understand you man. How come nobody comments on the Flowmasters? i've had Flows on my older stangs before and they sounded pretty good, but they just were not loud enough...

Now a couple questions...

1. With those Borla Stingers, What website can you buy them from? And can they just be welded right in, your do you have to do some bending?

2. With the SLP II's, some one told me that you have to bend the stock pipes? or what? Please Explain... Thanks man
