hate to let ya down man but an even fire 6 will never sound like a V8. it isnt possible. you will probably have a good sounding 6er but it wont sound like an 8. if you have the xpipe and a catback you shouldnt need anything else. do you just have the 2 mufflers? if so you have to get some pipe custom fabbed up.

True but you only need extenders of you have an 04 any other model you do not need them. Cause the cats on the 04's have 4 cats 2 on each side.

hangers for the pipes...the over-axle piping aswell...nice tips?
but Magnaflows should sound great, get what you pay for.

cant wait to hear these sound clips!

With the Pypes brand umay need an extention for the upper 2 sensors.My model year, 2000, wasn't supposed to need them so i didn't get them when i installed my Pypes x-pipe, but for some reason the stock O2 sensors weren't long enough. So i spliced in some extra wire on the sensors with some old computer cables and its working great so far..So i say go ahead and get the extentions if u can

good luck i just put in my pypes and intsallation was a b****. i had to extend the wires, and they didnt send two of the phlanges. I also had 2 make my own tail pipe hangers to avoid cutting the bumper

why do 04's have 4 cats & the rest have 2???? & if you do a de-cat do you need both o2 sensor extenders & MIL eliminators or just one of the other???
