Default What exhaust should I go with now?

My setup is:

MAC Long Tube Headers
No Cats
MAC Off-Road H-Pipe
SLP Loud Mouths

When I had my Y-Pipe, the SLP's sounded good....but I wanted more. So I upgraded to this setup and while it sounds amazing at idle, its too much when actually driving the car. So, what would be my best option as far as mufflers go? I want to retain that idle as much as possible but keep it civil when on the road.....that and the amount of back pressure I lost with the combo on LT's and the SLP's just makes me loose so much performance.

Hmm, GT take-offs r cheap and should work out nice. Other than that, just look for mufflers that u like sound wise. On the drivetrain performance section at the top of the page there's an exhaust thread w/lots of clips. Good Luck!

i also heard that shorty headers perform better than long tube on our sixr.

I already have the h-Pipe, LT's and no cat's on my car. Now I'm just needing help on what muffler to go with. Since this is the last time I'm gonna do any work on the exhaust and I have to get it right this time haha
