So I had a local exhaust shop simply cut out the stock mufflers and weld in new magnaflow mufflers and reused the stock tips. It sounds a bit more aggressive and a tad bit deeper but I'm looking for more. Whats the next logical step to give me the more aggressive sound I'm looking for and how to best do it on the cheap. I also don't want to do something that would require me to modify the tune.
Replaced stock muffler with Magnaflow....Still need moar

Have your exhaust shop cut out out the resonators and replace with them straight pipe....No tune needed...Little more noise.
Yep....remove resonators. Then, offroad x or h pipe.
Off road midpipe would likely require a tune. Even using the cheater method, the engine would still waste fuel trying to cool down the cats.
If you want to try something without a tune, maybe the BBK after cat x-pipe?
I LOVE my setup! All it has are two 40 series Flowmasters on it.
You can hear it OK in this video.
Plus, the race after mine you get to see a GTO get TORE UP by an '88 GT!:banana:

Just get a muffler delete AB.
I have the SLP loudmouths and love them. I also have GT500's sitting in my basement. It takes 30min to change them out if Im going on a long trip or simply dont want all the noise.
But this is also not my daily driver...

Removing the resonators was the ticket. Sounds perfect now.
Good to hear! Glad you like it.
The stock mufflers sound raspy without the resonators and cats. Which axle backs are confirmed to not drone without cats or resonators, is a straight through high flow design, and are not so raspy?

No drone? Or rasp? Im considering this but im a bit skeptical :shrug:
Ive experienced no drone. There might be a little bit of rasp in the upper rmps but Ive only driven the car a few miles since modifying.
I sold my gt500s and put in some magnaflows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTKJ7blCc8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
What made you want to change?
Wanted to be unique. Lol. .. sounds cool now and its a lil more mellow with baby on the way
Installed Flowmaster Outlaw AB's a couple months ago. Wanted a little more - removed the resonators. Anybody that says removing the resonators does very little to increase the sound, is deaf or in denial. Sounds like a V8 Aston Martin in sport mode. Goes from a rumble at idle to a raspy, fire breathing beast over 3000 rpm's. I dig it.
I have same setup had no rasp until cats came off. No drone at all.
