youtube magnapacks and X pipes see how you like it. first find out what catback you want and then find what midpipe you like with it. even if you just get the midpipe now find out what sounds the best together to you so you dont end up putting something together that you think sounds like poop

Well, I ended up getting a UPR o/r x. I really liked the sound of them alone or with cat-backs, lifetime warranty, and a really decent price for some sound/hp increase (though i realize this would be greater with new headers...)

Sound will change to the plus, unfortunately very little HP gains

i have the SSS adrenaline exhuast and plan on putting a catted x pipe this weekend. i love the exhuast and i agree, go catback first then worry about a mid pipe.
ill let you know what i think after the install.

Now that you have a o/r x, a straight through style muffler will be your next best bet. But be careful, certain straight through mufflers will sound like crap, and be extremely loud with a o/r x.

Soundclip in my sig with o/r x and flows. I like it alot but some bash flows and an x. I noticed a huge increase at anything above idle in terms of sound! Don't buy a pypes. Mine has been nothing but trouble. Also ignore the driver in my sound clip. He is a camaro hugging retard.

if your really just looking for sound get something like the slp lm1's or something, they sound good and thats what i ended up doing with my stang. catbacks first, then mid n headers is what most people usually do

In my opinion don't go LM1's with a o/r x, either Packs, LM 2's or Stingers.
