Default Exhaust opinions

I really want to get LT's but i dont think i can deal with the scraping issue. So i am currently looking for an X pipe set up. I am quite sure everyone has heard my exhaust clip. What do you guys think SLP or Magnaflow True X?

I know that if I ended up going with something with an x pipe, Id go full slp, but thats just me. Lance has the magnaflow setup, so listen to his clips (well, if he got any yet)

ive got shorties i just did. it was a pain in the *** but i got them for a steal so I did it. If you are doing headers, do mid lengths or long tubes. SLP has a nice design with removable cats and a non-weld design. you can fit shorties, mid lengths or long tubes on the same x pipe.

i would go with slp if it were me. i've had long tubes and shorties on some of my 5L cars. i'd like to have a set of headers on my 01 but i can't justify the expense for a minimal gain on a stock motor.

I have the Magnaflow Tru X W/C's and love it.It fit perfect and really woke up the Magnapacks.If I can ever stop being lazy as hell I will get a sound clip or a video.

I have full SLP, yea, my resonators scrape also and im lowered about 1.5". But that's all that scrapes, had LT's and catted X installed since July. I drive over speed bumps every day at my university, have yet to scrape the LT's or the cats. The cats sit nicely above the ground and tucked under. I would say the SLP X only because you have the option to swap out to race pipes or cats. Its nice for me since I stil have E-check in ohio.

Dr gas comes in a puzzle type shape, its all pieces, has to be welded all together. They are great sounding with some flows, but VRS is basically the same thing, just already put together.
