Well, the one I can say is don't bother with LT headers on these cars. If you want loud, I would say some high flow cats, and any cat back. Some cat backs get raspy (spell check) and other's have more "roar".

I liked my bassani x and cat-back. it is louder than my borla on it now

no headers btw

 

[ChitownSVT04]

I have a pypes o/r X pipe and Mac 2.5 inch cat back I like the sound of it I just Sony like the fitment of the Mac you can't see the bends in the back like you can on borlas I'm just not a big fan of the way the borla sounds with an o/r x pipe

 

[VenomousDSG]

Prochamber and mac catback!

Or Borla exhaust and x-pipe

[Termilvr]

I've been thinking bout doing the prochamber And Mac cat back is There a difference between the 2.5 and 3inch besides the size obviously

LTs, o/r X and a Magnaflow cat back here... quiet milling around but at WOT its pretty fucking loud. A few people here can attest.

If you want the old school sound I would do the Prochamber + MAC combo. If you want something a bit more exotic I'd do a offroad X + Bassani.

 

[FastNick01]

add another 1 for Prochamber and mac catback. I plan to do a SS prochamber and SS 2.5 Mac catback in the spring time. Should sound healthy

I personally wanted a bit of quiet, so I put on the FR500's.
They're dual mode mufflers, so I it's quiet while tooling around town, but when I get on it, the baffles open up and it sounds sweet.

Another benefit of dual mode mufflers is that you don't lose much low end torque like you do with regular mufflers. Of course, we're only talking about 20 ft lbs or so which is a drop in the bucket on these cars.

To compliment, I had the stock 03 Cobra manifolds, UPR O/R x pipe and Magnaflow catback. The benefit of this and w/ long tubes is there is no drone. You can also hold a conversation in the car without yelling.

Again, mild at idle and loud at WOT.

I wouldn't do the offroad x and the Bassani, that makes it a little too loud, and in talking to the guys at Bassani they said with the high flow cats you don't really gain anything by having an offroad x

[10thSVT_03]

Prior to buying my combo, I spent hours, nay, DAYS into researching, reading, and listening to videos on youtube. While the videos aren't perfect, they give you a good idea. I ended up going with a prochamber and stingers. It's absolutely beautiful. It's not obnoxious but audible at idle, and it let's people know you're around. When you step on it she purrs quite a bit louder, but with a great tone. it's the second best combination out there for these cars, IMO, with only the high flow bassani midpipe/stinger combo sounding better. They are very similar, though. if you want it a little louder go with the offroad prochamber and stingers. I wouldn't go with the offroad bassani and stingers, though, as you begin flirting with raspy. Prochamber and mac catback is...eh, OK, but it sounds restrictive and choked. Hard to explain, but it does sound good, but it's just not my personal preference. It's really all a matter of what you want to hear. If possible, hear them in person. if that's not, youtube is the next best thing.

Here are a couple vids of what mine sounds like.

get a little bit towards the end

take off

drive by...stupid passing car ha

and here's one from inside...though the top was down and I didn't get on it too deep into 2nd. Not a bad interior note, though, with the top up on a long cruise on the expressway. from inside

yeah as you can mos def tell I don't have a great video of what it sounds like from the outside, but a few decent videos ha.

 

[Understated Detailing]

kooks longtube headers, kooks O/R x pipe and borla or magnaflow cat back IMO. thats the set up i have on my car. Here is a couple vids to see how you like it.
