One word: flow 40's through an uncatted H and long tubes FTMFW
Enjoy. Though my car still had the MAC catted H-pipe and JBA shortys at this time. Imagine what it sounds like now with LT's and o/r h-pipe.

Hey LT one question do you have any problems with the police for uncat H pipe ? I would like to do my set up like yours, flow series 40, H pipe and long tubes, How much do you think I can spend on this set up ? I do not have any thing big in my car, only I put 17" cobra Wheels and 225 in the front and 245 in the back. I enjoy my car the way it is I really like anicer muscle car sound.!
Thanks for your reply, I am in Canada and everything is so expensive here while I just go down to the states (N.Y)a couple of hours driving and get all the stuff there. So please let me know

To that question... "no." I've never technically had problems. But the again I dump the clutch and coast when I'm around em. The only time I almost had difficulties was when I got my fix-it ticket for tint (previous owner put frigging 5% everywhere but the windshield, which was a modest 15%). I pulled up to the station to show em I took it off, cop came out and asked if I'd been written for sound. I said no, and he didn't do anything about it.
Look on places like corral.net and stangnet.com classifieds. I paid a lot less than what I should have. $250 for the headers and BBK H combined, flow tubes were $30. Can't speak for the 40s, they were on there when I bought it. Even if I had to pay full price it would be worth it, sounds freekin amazing. Can't wait to hear a 408 through a similar setup
