BBK (not that it matters) long tubes, offroad H pipe, 40's. Pretty common setup I suppose, but I absolutely love the sound. Loud, too.

I'm running full lengths with x pipe and slp loudmouth exhaust, 3" all the way back... Its deafening on the outside and its not loud on the inside... But it runs all the way out the back... Here's a clip of mine before the heads and intake, which is a LOT quieter... Look over the popping, it needed header gaskets...

Here's one from the inside of the car the same night

i like my set up.. but i think i should have gone w/ the 3" cat back so the exhaust gradually got bigger.

Longtubes with 3" opening, no H or X pipe, Dynomax 3" in & out with 3" piping... That is what I would have, if I didnt worry about being to loud.

I only install an exhaust to make horsepower not be a nuisance[&:]
ORIGINAL: justakid

would you recommend shorty or long tube headers for the loudest/meanest exhaust?

offroad h or x pipe? which sounds better?

mac or bbk?
