LTs and exhaust combo

[Crowderb]

I'm back for opinions again. I install SP long tubes and the roush exhaust was to loud. I put a magnaflow resonated xpipe in my place to help it not be nascar loud. Well I don't like the sound of my setup now. What is the best exhaust for LTs, I don't mind loud I just don't want it to be unbearable. I was leaning towards 3" Corsa Sport but several people have said it will be obnoxiously loud. I feel like videos on YouTube are hard to judge

Are the headers catted or O/R

ARH Pure Thunder with H-pipe sounds great. Loud, but not too loud.

I have some vids from inside the car with normal driving - so maybe you can get a bit of an idea. This is with catted headers.

In the first vid, I say I am shifting at 3,000rpm, after coming to the second stop, I think I may have taken things to about 4,000.

Cold start and revs to 2,000 and 3,000 rpm. My cold start is now much quieter than in the video as Lund has done some stuff to quite it down.

I have been working on the "perfect sound" since I bought the car as well. Started with MBRP street which was fine until I installed offroad longtubes it became too loud and upper rpm raspy. So added MBRP resonators mid car,helped on noise level but not much in rasp.
This weekend I swapped out the MBRP mufflers with mangnaflow #12229 and it completely changed the sound. I would say it is 90% to my goal of a perfect sound.

Installing longtubes today. Will get a clip of the catted longtubes, stock resonator, gt500 mufflers.

i'm in this same situation. Low rpm sounds good, wide open high rpm sounds good, but the daily driving 2-3,500 rpms sounds like crap.

I'm toying with borla sport or magnaflow.

i personally would lean towards the mag street, or borla touring

Magnaflow mufflers will put a dent in the loud rasp. And the raspy loud. Best muffler without a doubt.

I'm running Borla S-type muffler with and x-pipe and cat deletes. It's the best sound for me, loud at WOT yet nice sound from idle to 3500 rpm for DD. Some rasp at higher RPM's but its seems to quiet down once the car gets to normal operating temps.

And Thanks for the recommendation on the #12229 it sounds great!

Sounds amazing

I can't make up my mind

Whatever you do, either leave the stock resonator or add an aftermarket one.

Any videos? And how much louder is cold start before and after headers? I have s-type with H pipe now. Thinking of the cat deletes.
