Exhaust Opinion: Resonator replacements w/ bullet muffler

[Courtesy Flush]

I agree with most, leave the resonators alone and keep the gt500's. Go with whatever offroad pipe that suits your fancy if you want more sound. You have an sct so seems like the most cost effective move.

Yeah, that is one thing that is a downer about these cars is the raspiness of the exhaust.

I think that "loud as shit" sound comes from cheap catless X-pipes with whatever insane mufflers are flavor de jour. I'm not sure I would change it up, as GT500s sound great on otherwise stock exhaust. IMO.

I've heard cars with exhaust mufflers and exhaust mods as each other with X and H and it was much louder with the X it seemed.

I think that is what I will do.

Thanks for the thoughts, fellas.
