So its ok on the highway? I want to get an exhaust next time I go home from school, but the one thing I don't want is it to be annoying on the 4 hour drive I make all the time. I want to be able to hear my music with out blasting it, but also I want the exhaust to sound good. Is that basically what you have w/ the hookers?

yeah thats what mine sounds like also... granted i have 3.55s which keep the rpms down but on a highway cruise up to about 95mph its not too bad.

get something that when you get on it it makes you smile but isn't so rediculous that you get pulled over for it at a stoplight...

yeah mines great. the max flows take a good while to break in tho, mine took about 6 weeks. i don't really know why but whatever. yea, i like them because they are not raspy in any sense of the word. they are more than reasonable on long road trips crusin at 75 and i never think ;wow i wish this was quieter'. all in all i love them.
