The search feature is your friend, but SW with the resonators is my choice and other members here.

Best is a matter of opinion, there are a lot of sound clips on the net, costs nothing to listen.
Current set up on my 14:
1 7/8" Kooks LT's, " green " catted X pipe, ( inspection state ), stock mufflers..

Borla S types w/ stock mid pipe and headers. Slightly louder and deeper sounding than stock @ idle and a good bit louder under acceleration, no popping or crackling on decel very smooth sounding.

I have ARH 1 7/8th LTs
Off Road H (the H sounds way better then the X pipe IMHO)
Stock Mufflers and Axel pipes.

I wish I could find more drive-by videos of the ARH LT/offroad h setup with the stock mufflers considering so many people have it but it seems to be the least recorded setup (at least on Youtube).

I agree, I think it just need a little more oomph to the note.

I did a lot of research and for me I had decided to just do an offroad H pipe until some negatives were mentioned most importantly the fumes without the cats (never crossed my mind) and that has me really reconsidering as I dont want a heavy fumes smell around my car when im in/out of garage and cruising with windows open.

I also found the catback Corsa system to be probably the best mufflers out there mainly because they are completely droneless.

good luck!

I've ran offroad pipes before and there weren't 'heavy fumes'. There was a faint scent of 93 when I was idling with the windows down for a good while (would say a minute or two). While you're driving there is no smell in the cabin. I don't think these cars would be any different.

ARH long tubes and OR H. You will never ever say it's too quiet again.

This will be my setup when the time comes.

Just bought some used ARH and off road 3 inch h pipe. These videos make me very happy with my purchase. Thanks for posting

This does sound nice. Soon as I get back home from this job up here, I'm going to pull the trigger on a setup like this. However, the young idiot in me wants to take it all the way and go with a SW catback in addition to the LTHs and H Pipe. I see You Tubes vids of setups like that but I can't really gauge the loudness on these crappy laptop speakers.

How much weight do you save getting ride of the OEM mufflers? Is that even worth considering?

I just put on the MRT Offroad (cat delete)

I had FRPP mufflers on it, but man way, way, too loud for me.

I put the stock mufflers back on and perfect. Much louder than stock but it kept the same tone without any raspy, popping crap.

If you want sound, trust me this is it without it being annoying as hell.

How are the fumes? driving, at a light and parked on the street and garage?

This may sound nuts to some. But I love the fumes. Whether it hurts me or not I love the smell.

But in all reality it is not bad at all. Definitely adds to the aroma in the garage no doubt.

No worse than the 67 AC Cobra that drove by me today spitting fuel out the tailpipes basically.
