MFJ yours sounds very good 2, but you have some mad cam action going on there... Cant get a good idea with that cam in it... But that indeed does sound sweet!

Any other videos would be greatly appreciated!

I am very happy with the setup and I think I'm going to keep it. If I was to change It would prob be to magnaflow or bassani, but bassani is just way to expensive. I really am impressed with the steeda catback. It will be more quiet for you since you got a stock midpipe but you get the idea of how good it sounds if you go with an o/r x pipe or a high flow catted xpipe. I bought the cb when it was onsale for $499.99. I'm not sure if steeda makes a kit for your car or not, if not I would go with magnaflow.

If you are going to keep the stock exhaust manifolds, stock midpipe, or atleast go with a highflow catted midpipe, I would go with the "Magnaflow Magnapack" CB. If you are going to eventually do headers or aftermarket o/r x I would go with the "Regular Magnaflow" CB.

Americanmuscle sells both Magnaflow kits for your car and they offer free shipping, plus you can use the forum discount to save some more money.

Just FYI, I paid less for my old Bassani CB than you did for your Steeda CB. The only true rip off, imho, is Borla. They charge double of what anyone else charges.

Also, I don't personally like the "bubbling" sound that the Steeda CB makes. Sounds like the exhaust is under water. But to each, their own lol. Its all personal preference.
