Offroad h or a mac prochamber will sound sweet with the flows.

Easiest way is to turn off the light with a dyno tune. Can also correct for the gears that way too. I wouldn't spend money on the mil elims if you plan on tuning the car.

Don't waste your money on MILs. Most don't work. Mine never did. Just get a tuner and turn them off.

Buy one from a mail order place like Amazon or LaSota Racing. I used LaSota and he gets a great tune from your datalogs. I think if you buy the tuner from them, you get tunes for life. I bought my SCT Xcal2 used for less than $200 and 90 days worth of tunes was $50. It's either that or pay $80 for mils that don't do squat.

Just don't get a BBK x pipe. Mine has a extremely loud horrid sound. Sounds like two 2x4's slapping together at decel.

I got a prochamber the other day to swap. I have mil eliminators and never had a problem.

I think most midpipes will sound good with Flows. Mac o/r H, Prochamber, and UPR o/r X are all good choices.

I paid $500 for my SCT x2 and dyno tune from VMP. I had it done during a car meet and he brought his portable dyno. Check your local shops for dyno days and see if they are doing deals then.

im pretty sure the o/r xpipe on mine is a bbk (on the car when i bought it so not 100%) but that with my magnaflow catback i like it alot loud enough to set off some overly sensitive car alarms when i crank it. as far as mil eliminators they just didnt work for me light would not go away so just picked up a used sct xcal2 and went to the dyno shop that had sct stuff paid $200 for them to do a couple custom tunes on the dyno.

I guess it boils down to cash. If he can't afford the tuner and or some dyno time, maybe the mils would be what the doctor ordered. They do work. Again, if you want, mine are brand new for $45
