What about with the stock headers? Will the stock midpipe live a long happy life with a power adder? I'm asking, because I don't want this car to be obnoxiously loud. My little girl rides in this car often and I rather not she be deaf by the time she is five. lol

If you want it quiet just get the magnaflow street series mufflers, they are still quiet without cats.

Not a fan of Magnaflow at all. I had them on my Ferminator and hated the way the exhaust sounded.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

I see no reason why the midpipe itself would be an issue. It's the cats that need to be a high flow design with a power adder. Maybe look to an H-pipe with high flows into your soon-to-be GT500's perhaps? Or just high flows alone will suffice. Toby may have a better opinion on that.

There is a guy on SVTP (ruswolf i think) that melted his stock cats basically after installing the paxton. the tune just tore them up.
