i'll look into those at school tommrow, but it's gonna be hard to change my mind.
should i get a gt take-off for the rest of the pipies in the exahust, or is that just extra money wasted?

it depens on if you want to spend more or not. if you dont want to spend much you can use gt take offs. you would have a 2 1/4in exhaust though. if you want 2.5 youve gotta get it either custom fabed or buy a gt catback

if your never gonna run a blower and a built engine then the Gt takeoffs are big enough. 2.5's won't hurt performance but 2.25 is fine also. FRC-5201 is the correct Force muffler for GT takeoffs. believe me all you will do is waste your money buying Flowmasters over the Forces. you can tell your friends you have flows if you want because they will not know the difference. i have Flowmaster 40's and have bought a ton of them over the years but i have switched to Force mufflers. they are just better all the way around

macs sound awesome. check out a 3" setup by clicking the link in my sig. and 2.5" is perfect for either FI or NA.

FI is Forced Induction..like a SUPERCHARGER that FORCES air in

N/A is Naturallly Aspirated..meaning NO POWER ADDER (nitrous, turbo, supercharger)
