Just pulled the trigger on exhaust..no surprise

Went with the Roush axlebacks. Bought them from CJ's as they were running a special on them. I figured these things sound awesome and now doesnt set me too far back on the savings for the Steeda CAI and Tune. I thought about going with the ATAK from Borla but my budget dictated I worked it tighter. Thanks to all for the help also to all those that post vids of thier exhaust. It did make it easier to make my choice and I figured I couldnt go wrong at all with this.

Now I have to figure out how to tell the wife before the delivery

Nice choice. I went with the Roush's. I get compliments all the time, sounds sooooooo good. You installing them yourself? My only advice would be to not be afraid to manhandle, and I mean manhandle, the stock mufflers to get them out.

Make sure you buy the wife some flowers or something. The day before the shipment is due. Then tell her about it. Worked for me.

I put the Roush AB's on a week ago. My girlfriend was skeptical about why I spent $380 to 'make the car louder'.
However.......after she drove the car on Sunday (revving it to 5500 rpm) she said 'Yeah.....I like them!'

Did you end up getting these? I'm looking to pick some up. What sort of deal did you get? I'm trying to find the best price now.
