Default about to pull the trigger

i've waited long enough to get exhaust. its either gonna be the SLP LM or the CORSA. i will eventually be doing LT's and O/R X so let me know if there is a different axleback i should get that would work better. or which one do ya'll prefer.

i like my flowmasters, but after 2 five liters it's a no brainer for me. it's strictly gonna be personal preference. no axleback is gonna give you more or less performance - we're talking about a couple horsepower with any of them maybe. you really just have to hear a few and go by your ears. performance wise they're all the same - that is they dont do squat

Right, the only performance youll gain is from headers, taking off the cats and replacing the mid pipe. Axle backs are purely about sound and everyone likes different stuff.

LONG TUBE headers LONG TUBE headers

friends dont let friends buy shorty headers!

they are worth 3-5 horsepower. equal lengths a few more, but not worth it and changing plugs is a pain

Boy is it gonna be raspy.[&:] Maybe not so much with the corsa's but sound is a personal preference. If I had LTs and O/R X I think I would put some Pypes violators, MACs, or keep my borlas, maybe.

yeah i understand that the axlebacks are all about sound... im definately going to get some long tubes though soon and an off road X.. probably the kooks setup. i like how the corsa sounds better but its double the price as the SLP's and i dunno how the corsa will sound with the LT's and O/R X and i know the SLP's will be fine cause ive heard sound clips of them. thanks for all your input and thoughts though guys!
