Axlebacks can only sound soo good
It's all about the mid-muffler
I am always up for a good challenge ...My exhaust sounds near perfect to me but when I get these longtubes I think it will sound even better...Exhaust challenge!!!

Okay Larry ...this sounds like a call out!!!. 
So here is the deal...I am going to post a vid of my car tonight. I challenge you and Tom281 to post your vids for the masses to make the final decision. I drove the car today and have a very positive opinion of how they sound and I want to drive it somemore before I post my opinion. Are you guys in for the challenge??????
Scott,
You know whatever makes you happy is what you should go with
I'm glad your happy with your Maggies, I know the GTA's didn't set well with you. I think the differences between your vert + auto & my coupe + standard also makes a difference in the in-cabin sound tone.
We're both old enough to do what pleases us first & the heck with the rest of 'em, we've earned that
I will get a current vid up within the next week here though & will include some in car vids, now that it has finally gotten warmer here.

Just yanking your chains guys.
Do a little sabre rattling . I am in love with my new exhaust sound but I have said that before. We see if I am still this happy in six months. 
. great vids too

Here is the vid I was trying to post last night and it wouldn't take. I really think my exhaust now sounds alot like Tom281's now. But he is running an off road H-pipe with Borla's stingers and added Dynomax (I think) resonators. I really post these vids to try and help others NOT spend as much money as I have on 4 different exhaust in the last 3 years. Here is a new vid of OBX longtube headers and H-pipe with Magnaflow mufflers (at idle) but this time out of the garage in the open. And I also think the Magnaflow mufflers look very similar to the Borla tips except when you look inside them you see some screen that the Borla's do not have. I know the Magnaflows seem to be to mild for most but when you couple them with longtubes, and no cats it really wakes them up it seems.

I will try to get this done for you in the next few days. I would have done it last weekend with the other vids but I didn't have anyone to man the camera for me. But I will try to do this.

I am running OBX lontube headers and non-catted H-pipe with the Maggies. What I think I have learned is when you have removed all of the stock cats you need to put a muffler on that will create some backpressure and calm things down. The Magnaflows with the stock cats and H-pipe are very tame but coupled with longtubes and no cats seem to be the right setup at least so far. I can't believe how much the Maggies lowered the tone of the exhaust. I am tickled so far.

This young kid I met at a stoplight in a 97 GT ask me when I was "gonna put an exhaust on that thing?" I told him when I can find the right sound that I like. He said to go with the Magnaflows and he took off.. 70Mach 1, take a bow sir, for you have delivered.. Thank you!
Problem is that being here in the northeast, I don't think I can remove the cats. Mine is a daily driver until I return to beater status before winter hits. Maybe someone can tell me something good. I'll see what happens with longtubes and an H. ODX.. Magnaflows Oh yeah!

I am posting one last vid to try and help you guys understand why I am so pleased with my latest exhaust sound. I don't have a camera man available again so the camera is just setting on a fence post in front of my house. But I have 2 minutes of taping time so I managed to get a drive-a-way at moderate acceleration, a drive by at moderate acceleration and a full throttle drive-a-way in but just barely. Sorry for the wind noise because I think it interferes with the sound of my car and I might try this again on a calm day. But I think you can get a good feel for the sound. For those that don't know my story this vid is of my present exhaust ( # four). OBX longtubes and H-pipe with Magnaflow mufflers. It has a very low tone at idle and while driving...NO trumpeting... NO drone...and cruises on the highway much like stock. You be the judge but no more exhaust changes for me. I have found "my perfect exhaust".

Go back to my first post then...I posted vid clips of the same set up with GTA's. I personal didn't like them for the reasons mentioned in that first post. Compare the difference yourself. That's why I made this post in the first place.
And the ARH's will not sound any different. I am sure of that. But I am not running cats.Scott

Please do. I am highly considering this. I have already found someone to trade my slps for magnaflows for. Thanks!
