Default What catback are the high HP stroker guys using?

I am wondering what catback the stroker guys are using. I had stingers on my car when it was fairly stock, but i think with 550+rwhp they may be a bit too much? Do the corsa's loose their motorboat sound with longtubes/no cats? thanks

Thanks guys, Im thinking maybe the Indies, but I want a nice deep idle with little resonance on the freeway. Stingers were great but they would probably drive me crazy with all the mods and no cats?

Stainless Works 3" is one of the top choices

Other than that Stingers flow great.

Then you get into the Indies, PRTs, Bullets etc that also flow well.

I was thinking of going with the SW 3" catback, but fear it may actually be too quiet? Can anyone compare this to any other system out there, only thing I have heard in person are stingers on a stock Z. thanks

I sold my SW catback because it was too quiet. :lol: I kinda wish I had kept it. At least I had zero worries about leaving a single hp on the table compared to other catbacks.

Also, from what I heard afterwards, I think SW can kinda custom make you a catback with smaller mufflers if you want it louder. Wish I had known that before.
