What kind of cat-back should I go with since I'm planning on the Kooks LT's and Kooks x-pipe? Should I just consider going full Stainless Works?

Magnaflow, the quiet Borla 14858, or FR500. FR500 would be the quietest. If you are going catless, I would strongly consider the FR500.

For So Cal, the noise level a catless Mustang produces is asking to get pulled over.

I'm going to be doing MAC longtubes and a custom catted X with my Magnaflow Catback. I currently have the Maggie catted X with the aforementioned catback.

Stingers alone with the stock H pipe are as loud as my car is now.

Thanks for the advice! :beer:

So the Catted Borla's would sound good with the LT's and x-pipe, right?

the borla 14588 will. The stingers are crazy loud, with a catted X.

Ask Rob, he bought the Magnaflow catted and already had Stingers. He sold the Stingers the next day.

Not sure what you meant by "catted Borlas"; but the 14858 system would be nice. Its the same as the Steeda IRS system (save for the tips).

I'd go with a Magnaflow cb or FR500 w/ an X.

I have the SLP LMII's with the SLP LMII catted X. I love the sound of my car. I am going to the Dyno in about 30 minutes. I willpost a video of it here.

I have one of me at the track posted in the time slip forum if you want to hear a 1/4 mile run with that setup. Trust me that is all you hear, it's like the other car is not there....LOL...

I got BBK LT/ Catted X/ Stingers. I really don't think it's very loud but i'll try to get some more audio of my car. I don't think the video in my sig does it justice. If you are cruising its not that bad. Slam the pedal and its wake up the dead loud.

I added the magnaflow catted X to the stingers and I love it. Yeah, it's quite a bit louder than it was with the stock H (and drones on the freeway - fortunately, I don't do much freeway commuting).

However, it sounds really deep, smooth, and mean - very exotic. I get compliments all the time - more than I did with the stock H, and WAY more (cause I got NONE) than with the stingers and MRT catted H. That combo sounded like a mix of Harley Davidson and old pickup truck :xpl:

Do stingers drone with a factory H? I have borlas on a v6 turbo car and it drones at 3k. And does anyone do group buys on those here occasionally?

Pretty much ZERO drone. That's what I was concerned about too. I'm running my stock 'H' and love everything about the stingers.

Thats fine, i'm not looking for loud, just a deeper tone you can hear.
Whoa.... if you're NOT looking for loud, then the Stingers may not be for you. You may want to check out the Borla model #14858. I have not heard them in person, but know they are not as loud as Stingers. Much more of a tame sound.

I had Magnaflow`s for 3 yrs, the last 6 months with a bassani x, and it sounded pretty good. I traded for Borla Stingers, they are not that loud at all with the stock H. There is a drone at 85 mph for 8 hrs lol. They really do turn heads, and I have put more miles on my car in 3 months than the last six months because I want to hear them. Well they are Just perfect !!!
