there are TONS of options out there for you to choose from

the best "bang for the buck" seems to be gt take-offs (single will sound fine, but duals are even better)

but if money is no problem, then you could get shorty headers, h-pipe, and some nice aftermarket mufflers.... ....that should get the neighbors' ears to bleed HAHA

You may be better off doing a search because you will get 15 replies with 15 different suggestions. I really likemy Bassani axle back. It' perfect for these cars imo. Dual look good but are overkill on the V6. Some say you don't gain anything with duals and actually lose some.

It all depends on your price range, GT takeoffs is the route that most people take here and they are fairly cheap and easy to install. They sound good too.

As was already mentioned, you will get a different answer from every person.

It is all about personal preferrence.

Do you want a little louder (GT takeoffs).
Do you want a lot louder (Pypes Street Pros) < What I have...

Go out on Putfile or YouTube and search for vids... lots out there.

www.putfile.com/sohcman/media you can check out my setup (and a few others).

Big question is what do YOU want?

Took me 3 months to figure out what I wanted...

Good luck on the hunt...

yeah i looked for a good 2 months too wasnt sure if i wanted duels and spend the money on them so i went with a single MRT aero turbine. If you want loud this is it. drone isnt that bad just turn up the radio a little bit and your fine. but i just got it on like a week ago and i love the way it sounds.

With dual Street Pros, turning up the radio isn't an option...

I've noticed they have gotten louder than when those vids were taken.

I passed someone yesterday (his windows were UP) and when it downshifted, he got all scared and slammed on the brakes (which was a pretty stupid thing to do).

Must have been dozing at the wheel (I'll give him the benefit of the doubt he wasn't trying to cause an accident).

At low RPM the resonance is awesome (most people refer to this as drone), but if you don't have drone, it isn't loud enough.

LOL

I like the flowmaster american thunder axle backs. Go to you tube, tons of clips. Also, go back through the old threads, tons of old info on this subject.
