it sounds pretty good...but involves a little bit more work...being that if you are in a emissions required state, you need 2 cats. also, you'll have to rig your o2 sensor for two pipes instead of one. personally, i think its just a PITA. just get a straight 3" pipe and you'll be good.

I'm running an Aero Turbine Muffler, sounds better than anything else I've heard including my previous 40 series. It's obnoxious when I stomp it and quiet when cruising. Straight pipes just sound like ***, all noise, no tone.

i've actually found that my straight pipe has a REALLY nice low rumble when cruising and idleing...never really gets super loud. the only time it get really loud is when accelerating hard. just don't do it around any cops lol

I have stock headers, but will be upgrading soon to edelbrock shorties. Right now I just have dual in/single out magnaflow cat, single in/dual out Magnaflow exhaust. I do not have a clip, but I need to get one.
