The area LEOs are going to love you.

Not sure how your neighbors are, but it might not be the best idea to pizz them off with an obnoxiously loud car.

If you like the sound of the Magnaflows you have now, how about just selling them and get a new set with four exhaust tips if that would be more visually appealing to you?

I paid a local shop to cut my mufflers out and put straight pipes on with 3" tips, I didn't see the need to spend $700 on a bolt on straight pipe exhaust. I paid $80 for everything and I like the sound. Idle sounds mean and WOT sounds even meaner. Several compliments on the sound of it, and to me its not loud enough but then again im only 20 so there you have it LOL.

by going with straight pipes you have taken 15 to 20 HP out of your car.. you lost the balance an H pipe or X pipe gives you having balanced scavenging brings out all the hp the engine can produce.. remove that scavenging and all you have is noise and less performance. ( Not a good trade off, but then you are only 20... so you do have an excuse for poor choices . You didn't have to tell us you were 20 .. we already know that. That's how we all learn...
