Nah im ok, I dont want to buy an exhaust that is something close to stock. I want something that is lounder than stock and that people will notice when you pass by and set off some alarms while im at it!!

I'm planning to go with the Stingers again on my new GT.
I felt the same way about the LM's, they made the car sound way different and definitely not what i am looking for. I was thinking about going for the the borla stingers but those were expensive so im thinking of going mac since those sound very similar.

Another thing I found, changing my Brenspeed tune from 87 to 93 made them sound much better.
flowmasters dont sound loud untill you really get on them around 5-6k rpm, i like the mac's cuz they sound loud even at idle and at low rpm.

Trust me, I'm sure many people will agree, if you want a nasty sound in every aspect, and little drone, do yourself a favor and get some boomtubes. There much cheaper then a lot of the other ones, and they sound absolutely amazing. somewhat refined, but loud and deep and throaty as hell. There awesome.

Trust me people notice either passing by them or just pulling up at a light with the Flows. Many compliments.

those are nice but sound too much like a tractor, no offense but just not my style of sound.

well most people all over forums and youtube say that flowmasters are not much louder than stock and i have heard many videos too so im not too convinced over the flows, the video's with s197's with mac's have me sold. Here is one video of the mac's

The Macs and Flows are about the same loudness when your getting on it. They both scream. However, the Macs really shine when your not getting on it because you can still hear them growling, which is something thats not true of the Flows. Macs are always "ON", if you will. I did like the tone of the Flows better though. The Macs are 100x easier to install than the Flows.

I just have to say they do sound nice, but OMG I can here the drone just over my computer speakers, that would drive me batty! I like my Corsas, but have been thinking about boomtubes for that lower sound.
