Default Putting stock catback on?

I'm getting bored of my Magnapacks. Their just not cutting it. I miss the muscle sound, not the "new-er" sound like the Stingers/Packs/etc. Well I was wondering, because I'm sure the shop cut the exhaust off, I'll have to check for certain, but if they did NOT cut it off, how big of a PITA would it be to reinstall?

I want to sell my Packs.
I also had a MAC catback that the shop WELDED (those hairy *** clowns) so that leaves no room for adjusting leaving it probably unsellable unless I get the mufflers cut out or something. What do you think?

Hoping MAYBE if I get all that done, I'll easily have enough to buy an MRT catback because I really want that muscle sound back. Oh do I ever.

Maybe Flowmaster won't sound that bad? [8D](Note, this was before my O/R prochamber)

Reinstalling the stock cat-back, provided it wasn't cut, shouldn't prove to be too big of a job, even a muffler shop could tackle it pretty quick (under two hours)

I'm worried about the infamous flowmaster drone and though I've been tempted many times of Flowmaster's sound but I don't know
I've always loved this clip of the flowmaster's on a mach.

But right now I'm looking at either Bassani or MRT mainly. MAC almost sounds like a beefed up version of my 2002 V6 stang with true dual flows on it.

Actually I really don't know about Bassani. Sometimes it sounds good sometimes it doesnt.
I wish Flowmaster had a stainless steel product because I'm almost in the mood for some Flowmasters lol.
SLP Lm1s are probably too loud on a catted x pipe
No Magnaflow this time
I could care less about performance too. I'm not too desperate to pull as many horsepower as I can with this mod so yeah.
I'd probably buy a whole catback
I just wish MRT wasn't so expensive.

He wants a muscle sound. LM's are just louder Magnapacks, so that wouldn't really be getting him anyhwere.

And if you really want MRT, just save a little longer. I honestly don't understand why people bitch about a few hundred dollars. I mean what is that, and extra pay check or two? Do you honestly have to buy it right now? Instead of settling for something you kind of want, just wait a bit longer and get what you DO want.

I really like my Steeda C/B it's all Stainless and sounds really good, no drone and not to loud just a nice muscle tone.
