I just switched exhaust setups this weekend on my 2002 GT. Before I was running MAC LT Headers, O/R Prochamber, and Magnapacks. The sound was nice and deep, but the poor quality headers were giving me trouble, and I decided to swap them out. I am now running BBK LT Headers, BBK O/R H Pipe, and the Magnapacks. The problem is, I think the Magnapacks are too aggressive for the free flowing setup I have now. It sounds nice and deep at lower RPM's, but when I lay on it, the exhaust kind of farts (like a high pitched rasp). It sounds like I am shooting flames out from behind my car. It doesn't sound horrible, but I am more for the deep throaty sound throughout the RPM range, still being loud, haha. I figured its because of the new O/R H coupled with the straight through design of the Packs. When I had the Prochamber, it mellowed out the exhaust tone before it hit the catback and kept it deep. Now with the O/R H, its just shooting right through. So I think Im going to switch up to a chambered catback, to mellow the new sound.
I was hoping to get some feedback as to what would be a good choice. Im thinking of going with either the original Magnaflows (not the Maganpacks), the SLP Loudmouth II's, or possibly some Borla Stingers (but kind of pricey). Those are the only ones I could think of that are all stainless steel and offer a chambered muffler. I'm leaning towards the Magnaflows, since I really like the tips I have now. But, I also have heard good things about SLP, just not a big fan of the rolled tips. I also want to keep a loud aggressive tone, and just deepen what I have now. Are any of the catbacks I mentioned quieter than others? What do you think would get rid of the current noise I have at higher RPM's, as well as maintain an aggressive deep (loud) exhaust note? And are there any other catbacks you would suggest?
I also thought about switching to a shorty catted BBK H-Pipe, but I can get a new catback for the same price, and would rather keep it O/R.
Thanks for your input guys!
