Magnaflow, 'nuff said.

WSP-y, Cattman B, A33 rear section.

Someone needs to make an equal length y-pipe again.

The Stillen 1st gen was equal length, sounded so much better than the WSP I have now.

I also have 28" resonator and it sounds good considering the exhaust mods(unequalength y currently) it has.

Yeah my plan on doing flowmaster muffler makes me feel like it might be extremely loud as well. Post if you figure out a better sound.

Probably because they don't have a y-pipe

Or you could put on a Dynomax SuperTurbo, i just put mine on this past weekend with my unequal length Y pipe and test pipe, stock catback. Sounds pretty damn good from the outside when the car is driving, sounds decent(no rice) when out of gear being reved up, and its a really mellow tone at idle. Drone is only when the engine is under a BIG amount of strain.
