I would be but I would have to get rid of my O/R H. Those mid pipes are hard to get from people since mac is gone. Mine is a mac H; I found the patent for the design with drawings maybe one day I’ll make one for long tubes.

Wanna say I had Bassani H with my Stingers, been a few years.
Bassani doesn't make an H. It's an X, but it's clamshell design. Not really a true X like the Dr. Gas design.

I wonder how that Pro Chamber would sound with my Bassani headers? Hmmm......

Is this really an issue? Nobody’s selling them anymore or what?
With all the gayboy tree hugging EPA shit nobody is trying to sell them anymore for the fear of nobody using it for off road purpose and them getting a fine. So yeah, you’d be very hard pressed to find one.

Damn, I don’t know why I’m so surprised. That’s bogus, guess its been awhile since I’ve been exhaust shopping.

Trying to get headers for my black coupe now that my manifolds are messed up. It’s been a headache. Don’t know what I’ll do with my current Bassani x pipe when I get ARH and such. Probably hold onto it until one of the boys needs it I guess. Since they’ll be illegal in no time :D

Finished mine today. Stock manifolds, Bbk high flow x pipe, and stingers. Videos don’t do true justice in my opinion. The wife said she was getting a headache so I knew it was just right

I’m running Stock manifolds, magnaflow catted x, with borla stingers. I love how it sounds. Not too much rasp and not overly loud. Sounds perfect to me.

ARH is still selling the O/R mids. It’s $1900 for their without cats systems and $2300 with the cats. Just checked last night and it’s who I will probably go with since they are the only ones who still sell catless mid pipes

I had a magnaflow cat back on my terminator, stock otherwise. I loved the sound and received so many compliments from people, saying 'that's exactly how I want my car to sound!" or "God damn, I was 6 cars behind you at that light and your car sounds amazing!" It was nice and mellow, but loud enough at light loads and had a great 'race car' howl at WOT. Would do it again.

I had a full manifold back with Flowmasters on my '98 2V. It was ridiculous loud and glorious. Could hear it 5 miles away on the freeway. The echoes off canyon walls and buildings were excellent. Couldn't hear shit inside the car while driving, except for the exhaust.

But as others have said, it's best to listen to cars, go for rides, and decide what you want. There are a lot of options that result in very different sounds.

It's actually pretty quiet compared to a coyote

Most coyotes are straight piped these day… but it was louder than mics can capture. You could hear my car from almost 2-3 miles away. When I put an H on the car it was too much and I immediately got rid of it. Best to attract as little attention in commiefornia from cops as possible. Now I am in AZ so I am going with a valved system to let me go from quiet to loud when I want.

I agree. I had cutouts on my x pipe back in the day. Shit was amazing.
