Exhaust

I'm pretty much dead set on american racing lt headers...I'm just not sure on what I should do from there. I want to be loud but not really annoying. I need some opinions on weather to use off-road h or x pipe and what sort of exhaust system to run out the back. I don't really care for magnaflow or flowmaster just because I live in an area where every "good ole boy" has those systems on their trucks. Thanks guys for the help!

I went with an O/R x pipe and SLP loudmouths and its ridiculously loud. I'm about to swap the SLP for Roush and see how that does. I would deffinitely have mufflers on it.

Well if you're dead set on the American Racing longtubes it will have to be an x-pipe. That's all they make for their headers and you must use their matching midpipe. If you want an H-pipe you could go with the Kooks midlengths as they offer a matching H-pipe. Kooks make good headers also.

If you're looking for loud Stainless is close to the old muscle car sound. It's not perfect since were not working with an old engine. The 5.0 4v just has a different sound. Putting on a set of stainless headers and switching the Cam will help. Keep in mind though switching the cam will void the warranty on the engine.

As far as headers are concerned Kooks, Stainless Works, and American Racing are all good headers.

Are you selling your SLP loudmouths? I would be interested in some details like... do they make a popcorn sound on exceleration etc or do they make a sound more like the Borla S. Personally i'm not a fan of an exhaust system that sounds like a popcorn machine.
