Default Straight Pipes Installed

I just installed my straight pipes tonight, and i am extremly pleased. I bought them from a follow forum member, and have nothing but good things to say about the transaction. At first i thought they were actually a little to quiet , but i was wrong. When i hit the gas, a wonderul noise came out of the pipes , a noise i have been deprived of becasue of the stock exhaust.I recomend this route to anyone not wanting to spend a ton of money on an exhuast system.The install was a little bit of a pain, but was well worth it.I warmed her up, then took this vid... enjoy

DO you have LT's, X pipe......

I have LT's, no cats, X pipe into magnaflow straight through mufflers, straight over the axle....and that thing is friggin louder than what I had on my Mustang with LT's pro chamber H pipe and side exhaust without mufflers......I cant imagine straight pipes....but mine is already pretty close to that now but legal....... Cant wait to hear the video upload

Cats are still there, the pipes are nothing speacial , just welded at a local shop (thats what i was told) the sound is certainly better then stock, but not to obnoxious.
