    Default almost finalized exhaust plan

    Ok, after months of figuring and stashing cash, along with sitting in engines class and learning how exhaust plays a part in engine performance, I think I am ready. I am going with:
    -gutted precats (though im concerned about a large "expansion chamber" in my exhaust right after the engine)
    -2.5" hi-flow cat
    -2.5" trubendz dual kit
    -2.5" cherry bomb as a resonator
    -2.5" thrush turbo mufflers
    -appropriate exhaust tips

    What does everyone think?

    you can save a little cash and get a magnaflow flow-through muffler instead without a resonator. flow-throughs dont get as raspy or drone as much as chambered mufflers. and i agree.
    driving 75 on the hw its almost silent until i hit the throttle. after that id say its loudness 9 on a scale of 1-10
