I found a great deal on a h-pipe for my car ($100), so now its just a matter of catback. I'm kinda bouncing between macs and flowmaster. I've heard flowmaster has some drone problems, and mac has some rusting problems (only on aluminized catback though). Right now I'm guessing it would be best to go with mac, but what do you guys think? __________________ Current Performance Mods: K&N FIPK II CAI, Pacesetter H-Pipe, Pypes True-Dual Street-Pro Cat-Back, and SCT Excalibrator II Tuner.

I found two different sellers of the same cat-back, but one is labeled for a v6 w/ h-pipe, and the other is labeled for the GT of the same year as my car. Are they the same system with the exception of the exhaust tips, or will the v6 w/ h-pipe version fit better than the GT version? Here are all the possible combos for my system: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-04...QQcmdZViewItem http://store.cal-mustang.com/showdetl-7-9295-20-0.html http://store.cal-mustang.com/cm_able...=7981&CATID=20 http://www.americanmuscle.com/v6duexadkit1.html __________________ Current Performance Mods: K&N FIPK II CAI, Pacesetter H-Pipe, Pypes True-Dual Street-Pro Cat-Back, and SCT Excalibrator II Tuner.

That is about $300 less than most catback systems alone not counting their installation. I am however considering using Borla Pro XS mufflers instead of the Flowmasters though.

Quieter hwy driving and a different sound than everyone else. I haven't decided yet as my local shop is checking to see what price they can get the Borlas for.

It is easier to drown out but if you hear it it is annoying. __________________ Scion Tc-strup racing header, CAI, Ground Kit, NOS 100shot, Custom suspension, Doc.
