Default exhaust systems

Im looking for a more louder more deeper aggressive tone.. A full exhaust starting with some sort of high flow cat all the way back to the axle.. any ideas?? i currently have the mac axle back and would like to keep em.. I want to get my gears redone but i heard that the higher you go you lose more top end?? and one more thing where can i find the roush suspension kit for a good price.
Thanks for ur help

For the exhaust you could get a mac-prochamber. Mac axlebacks and prochambers sound awesome. Regarding gears, the higher the number, the lower the gear. 4.10s are a lower gear than 3.55. And no ,going to 3.73s or 4.10s will not hurt top end speed or acceleration.

Well they will hurt your top end, but not a crazy amount. The sole reason for the gears is to obviously help your acceleration. Most people that plan on going Forced Induction (supercharger, turbo) someday usually go with the 3.73 just because your getting huge gains from the S/cer or turbo, but some do go with 4.10s. If you do go FI and 4.10 then you'll have to put a crap load of money keeping that power to the ground cause your tires are going to want to spin. If you don't plan on going FI in the future go with the 4.10s and you will notice a crazy difference. For the exhaust the best thing to do is to go on you tube and type any combo in and there will be a video to watch. But a lot of people that want LOUD go with SLP loudmouths. Welcome to the forums.

I think lower gears would only hurt top end performance once you reach speeds in excess of about 150 MPH

Ok, thanks for all the input that definitely clears alot of that up.. ill prolly go with 3.73's but the side exhaust.. I like that idea.
Any idea of where to go for that and how to get a complete setup starting at the headers??

Just start looking around I'm sure you'll find it, type side exhaust on yahoo or something. I think roush has a side exhaust setup. Go with 3.90 or 4:10 if your not planning on adding a S/cer anytime soon, you wont feel much of a difference with the 3.73, trust me because I just did it. But I also had my reasons for going with 3.73s.
