i think the catback setup sounds pretty good. i'm not even a fan of flowmasters, but that sounds pretty decent

I like the way these cars sound without catbacks/mufflers, that's what I was running in the states, can't do it here in Germany. They sound so free without mufflers, the mufflers seem to restrict them, I thought that today when I revved my car.
Hopefully soon I'll have my o/r h paired with my flows and it'll sound better, but right now it sounds like it is bottled up, contained, if that makes sense.

I like the sound without the catback, but then again that's less backpressure. Not to mention empty holes in the bumper

the second video would probaly do more justice if you moved the camera towards the front of the car seeing as how the exhaust isnt coming from the tail pipes, sounded quiter in the second clip noise was futher away(in my opionion) and about the w/o mufflers i have always been told that your not gaining anything and probaly taking away horsepower becuase you need back pressure unless your turbocharged or supercharged.

again i am not the most knowledgable person on this issue just what i have heard.

every man has his own taste got to imagine it sounds good opened up like that though

Flowmasters! That's always been my preference though going back to my 5.0 days. These cars also sound awesome with the same combo (Flows & H-pipe).

sounds badass without in person

It does, I'd do it again if I could, and with gears I don't think there would be a noticealbe difference in hp loss. Also, I still had tail pipes, there was just a pipe welded in where the mufflers used to be.
I say go with the straight pipes man, I would, I turned a lot of heads and got a lot of compliments and request for revs when I had mine that way. Even older people asked me to rev it :banana:
