see my thread.

what you'll be happiest with eventually:

mac axlebacks (chambered) are fantastic by themselves; however any more flow than that, they sound really raspy and just unpleasant.

SLP LM's: sound pretty good by themselves, but same thing with the macs.


boomtubes: safer than the others.

HOWEVER

if a full setup with lt's is what your looking for, may i suggest corsa axlebacks? with an offroad x pipe and longtube headers, just sounds incredible.pure awesome. ill post some clips (that are already in my thread) when i sober up a bit.

borla's are a slightly less expensive but still very valid alternative.





remember, when you choose an exhaust (headers and midpipe) that flows well, you must choose an axleback that is up to the task acoustically. that pretty much excludes any chambered exhaust.



oh.............another one to consider: pypes mid muffler, x pipe, and lt's. sounds amazing. again, i'll find some clips for you when i sober up.

How loud exactly are the Mac's??? The only comparison I have are stock, flowmaster and No muffler (SLP). Is it close to slp? Or is it close to the flows?

I had the flows and they were pretty dam quiet and I had the slp and they were somewhat loud. The macs are probably inbetween the two

Well that's what I figured just wanted to see what end of the two they were on. Also I'm guessing since theyre chambered they sound like flows only louder

Thanks for all the input. MartyMoose I don't mind the drone, I actually kinda enjoy it so I don't forget the exhaust is there. As for those who suggested Corsica's I just have a problem paying that amount of money for axelbacks alone. For those who suggested the pypes mid-muffler system, I like the sound of these, but how loud are they? I want something that has some noise to it.

If you end up deciding on the Loudmouths, Brendspeed offers:

..which are identical to the loudmouths at about half the price.
