Well Id say "deluxe" would fit the ones w/ leather, and a mach system instead of cloth and just a cd/tape player.

Go to bed kid :p

In cali you wont get for if you fuck with anything before the mid/cross pipe.

Basicly your options Id say:
X
H
Divorced
Prochamber

Opinion:
I dont think and X sounds to good (was my first cat back) w/o being cammed and O/R

H/Divorced Id have to hear a few in person to see about a difference. But seems to be a good cat back choice.

Prochamber I've only heard in person my set up... cant compare a N/A build O/R to a cat back lol
But 6er's camera seems good, and on my stereo, his vid w/ Prochamber w/ and w/o 40s I like either, but honestly, Id really love to hear his car in person w/o 40s based on the video. I think it sounds good. Idk about a side exhaust and drone :p
Soonish I may see about having my mufflers cut off and test driving to see if I like it w/o mufflers on an O/R Cam set up....
We'll see though.

Your mid pipe choice is good though. Mufflers will be great too. 2.5'' will be great.
If you see any pics/vids of my car w/o the GT bumper (w/ exhaust cut outs)
Not many unless you dig through my photobucket.
But I had 3x12 chrome tips

Personally I dont like the thick rolled tips with a V6 bumper either !

And dont forget to consider dumps that you cant see, it helps create an echo against the pavement and you'll get a little more tone out of it.

lol i worked at 3am so i sleep during the day
just for reference, im jux gettn into cars and mechanics so my knowledge on things is off... dumps and cammed idk wht it is or wht tht means... euhh i kno wht O/R means lol dumps is different from cutouts right??

yeaa i wanna keep the stock manifold and the stock midpipe and cats, and use 2.5" divorced dual pipes with thrush welded mufflers and exhaust tips... i kinda like big, bulky-looking tips but i may have to switch to a GT bumper, huh?

best i can do for you Mike on the differences using the Prochamber...one day it'd be nice to meet up...perhaps at the 6er Shootout

I deleted my dumped setup vid so sorry i don't have it to post anymore...


First Prochamber, no mufflers, side exhaust...side exits were just too poppy in tone for my tastes...a month after install this was changed

Prochamber and Flow 40s....also Prochamber and no mufflers...

the vid quality is good since it's an HD cam visually, but the mic on it's not amazing...so sadly it's not a perfect representation. That being said the Prochamber and no mufflers is my favorite setup since I have cats...if i ever did remove the cats though mufflers would go back on immediately

also i love the sound a PC makes during the actual driving side of things...it's hollow and throaty. reason why i had it on my GT to begin with...i'll try to take some cruising vids tomorrow

tell the shops you want 2.5" or you'll take your business elsewhere....i'm guessing they want to do 2.25" because they probly have pre-bent crimp tubing in that size and don't want to do extra work
