Ok, so I like the sound of my Raptor mufflers, but I want to go with something slightly louder and more throatier sounding...something with a muscle car sound.

I currently have no cat, and I can't picture what the car would sound like with other mufflers, so I'm asking the pros here for your help. What would sound good, without getting me a ticket for noise violations?

I have Borla mufflers on my 99GTP and it sounds great

I've been thinking about saving them for the next Mclaren...

because I know they'd sound friggen awsome!!!!

If you want loud and muscle sounding put a cherry bomb on and open up the exhaust to 2.5 if you haven't already...doubtful considering your overkilledness to detail  ;)

LOL Cherry bombs are TOO loud...no cat on the car.

And until I decide to upgrade the turbo setup, I'm sticking with stock exhaust...breathes well enough right now.

Nah I've never liked the sound of Borlas...nothing personal. Just that around here, half the cars run Borla, the other half run fartcans. And after a while, they start to sound alike lol.

Catless stock exhaust sounds pretty good. That's what's on the red car. It's got a bit of a rumble to it @ normal throttle levels and gets pretty quiet under hard acceleration.

See, i had stock rotted exhaust and no cat, and it still didn't sound right. I want the muscle car sound.

Hooker Aerochambers sound the best or a 60 degree v6.  Or check out Mac Performance their stuff sounds good.  I'm not a big fan of the magnaflow stuff......

Hey cobracmdr, I checked online but can't find a site that has an audio clip of the Hooker Aerochamber mufflers...any chance you'd have a link?
