Default Should I...

Hey guys,
The IRS will soon be mine, but I gotta buy the upgraded bushings for it first before it goes in. Now my question is i'm getting a catback with the IRS, but it is a flowmaster catback with magnaflow mufflers welded into it. Now those of you who know me know that I hate magnaflow catbacks with a passion...and i also will be running a catted x pipe, so the exhaust would not be near loud enough for my tastes. So my options that im planning for in my head are getting a set of mufflers to weld into the catback or buying a new catback that is going to be stainless steel.

If I were to get mufflers welded into the catback, they would probably be Flowmaster's new super 10 series single chamber street mufflers or something like borla stinger mufflers or get a set of bassani canister mufflers.

If i were to buy a new catback, I would probably be buying an SLP LM1, Borla Stinger, or flowmaster stainless catback.

Now what would you guys do? I'd really like to get the stainless steel exhaust so i can polish the tailpipes for shows but idk what to do. Cobra catbacks seem to be a lot more expensive than the SRA catbacks for some reason. Let me know what you guys think. Also, if anyone knows anyone that has an IRS catback for sale, let me know(as long as its not magnaflow).

Thanks guys,
TJ

I'd LOVE to do the borla stingers, but they are $690 shipped through summit so I might try to go that route, cus i just sold the o/r x pipe, selling the flowmaster catback, selling the SRA, selling the shocks from the SRA, and im making decent money this summer. So I'm gonna try to swing the stingers i think, just trying to get everyone's opinion.

Forgot to mention I have a guy that will send me his SLP LM1 IRS catback for $250 shipped. Should I do that? Just offered him $225 shipped if I get pictures and I like what I see.

yea, with either of those i'd keep the catted x, but MRTstang's car sounds pretty sweet though with the Termies with the catted h and lt's.
