i had the same bug bite me after 3 months with the GTAs. My solution?? Boomtubes!!!! never looked back.
careful with the off road h. i looked into that as well, and heard from several people on here that the GTAs don't respond the same as others and sound like S***.

RE: Want to wake up my GTA's a bit
I have GTAs and am wanting a little more, too. If anyone is still following this post I have a question. After I put on my GTAs I took the car down to a muffler shop to have them welded in and they sold me on welding up a custom x-pipe for me. It's a lot like the FRPP x-pipe. I only had my GTAs on for a week when I went to the x-pipe but I think they were louder with the factory h-pipe. Is that possible? Would it be worthwhile to go back to a factory like catted h-pipe or would it all be about the same as what I have now?

How many miles do you have on them? I have 26000 on my GTA'sand they have come into their own rather well I think.

RE: Want to wake up my GTA's a bit
Just re-installed my GTA's & factory over-axle pipes yesterday. I was running the Pypes Mid-muffler,OBX L/T's & O/R H. It was way too loud for me with the headers & mid-mufflers.Putting the GTA's back on made a big difference,it's now only about half as loud.Quieter now than with the mid-mufflers & factory H w/cats. The headers & O/R H wakes up the GTA's,primarily above 3000rpm. The idle & cruise are still quiet, just a small step up from the GTA's & stock H. Above 3000, it's quite a bit louder that with the stock H. NO drone at all. The Prochamber gives it a slightly deeper tone, but not louder than running a O/R H.

I used to run Kooks L/T’s with catted X and the GTA’s. I loved the sound and I think an off road X would still sound very good without being too loud. I have a set of BoomTubes that I will try with the new turbo’s and decide which I like better the Boomtubes or the GTA’s with the new setup.
