Valid question but you might hear this soon

sorry for not answering your question

Mach 1: about 305
Gt: about 260 stock

Btw: those are at the crank. The big difference between the engines is the amount of valves and compression ratio, something like 10.1:1 against something like 9.3:1. I'm sure ill be corrected

Well you dont pay that much more for some emblems, grille, chin spoiler, new springs, and a shaker hood. They got to improve the engine to back up the price

You can never go wrong with borla they are top of the line, if you can afford the rediculous cost. I personally like h-pipes they have a more muscle car sounding exhaust tone. x-pipes have a more european raspy sound, but its all personal taste. I think most people on these boards have o/r x-pipes

cool, where can i find a good H-pipe? the muscle car sounding exhaust is what im trying to go for. i like the loud but deep sound. dont get me wrong, the borla cat back def. gave me a much better sound.. but u know how it is, once u go loud, u always want to go louder..lol.

I've checkout a few other forums and people seem to have the same opinion on the H pipe over the X-pipe if im looking for a deep V8 roar. Anyone know of a good place to find an H-pipe that would go with the borla cat back?

I got my Mac h-pipe (off road) from Brenspeed on ebay. I was like $150 shipped. I'm pretty sure it should bolt right up to your borla catback but I could be wrong.

Here's what you would sound like with a Mac ProChamber and Borla Stingers. Sounds awesome imo.
