Keep the cats have an H pipe welded in and run Magnaflows(not the Magnapaks) you will be happy!

 

Ive got shorties kept cats to a X pipe then pipe all the way back to 4" tips on my sixer. Sounds good to me and everyone else thats heard it. Haven't gotten a dislike yet.

 

already got the flowmaster american thunders..hope they are good

 

so if I get you right ..you have shorty x pipe and a dual exhaust..can you please link me to the shorty x pipe ...

 

Shorty headers. Not xpipe, No such thing.

 

but on americanmuscle there are x pipes called shorty x pipes ..what are those?

 

I think that might be if your running long tubes. Not sure though.

 

why do the x pipes made for 05-10 gt's fit the v6 ? or do they?

 

Haven't tried it.

 

Yeah what he said, headers

 

I went catless on my 05 v6 and trust me don't do it its not the best sound u ever heard. Trust me ur gonna want to keep ur cats rite where there at lol

 

yeah man ..keeping the cats

 

i would keep the cats. sounds like your trying not to spend much to go dual, but its not gonna be too cheap no matter how you go. you can get x pipes every where, h pipes are hard to come by. i really dont think you will notice any performance differences between the x or h. people like both.

i put some cheap shorties, jba stailess h pipe with over axles( not available anymore), 2 gt takeoff mufflers, and 2 oem clamps cost around $750. jba also sells the complete stainless h pipe system with their mufflers for around $750. nice setup except for the hangers.

the oem hangers are still the best and cost around $110 for 2

youve got the mufflers you want, could just get a x pipe and driv side mid/overaxle pipe

the cheapest thing would be to find a muffler guy to make something up, or bring him a h pipe off a gt to work with.

 

^^ thanks man ..let me see what I come up with but yeah things are not looking good ...

 

I have JBA shorties JetHot Sterling coated running thru stock cats to an H-pipe and Magnaflows stailess mufflers with 4" SS tips added. Whole system is welded post the headers and sounds really good when you get on it and quiet when cruising, no drone at all. Although after 6 years I am wanting grunt and the ATAK from Borla sound really good on the v8, hoping to hear it on a 6 before jumping in.

 

work done at a shop called Speed Shop in Miami, awesome guys , custom made x pipe, cats still there..awesome sound with the flowmaster thunders ...and as wompart said and I quote "sounds really good when you get on it and quiet when cruising, no drone at all."

thanks for all the help guys ..

 

Glad you like it! Post a video of it. I want to hear how it sounds.

 

video will be up soon bro ...

 

Yeah, I just went to a Midas and had them build me an x-pipe. Cost about what your budget is, but I'm in the expensive NE so you might do better.

 

Very nice, a buddy used the AT mufflers on his GT, they rumble nicely!
