    Has any one heard or used one of these DP? If so how did it sounds and will it fit on my 06 GT SC?

    Random Tech has been around for a long time...I've heard that their quality isn't too great...just get a ZZP.

    Just because it is a ZZP doesn't mean it is louder...you can get a catted 3" ZZP Downpipe, just like that one. The 3" High-Flow Cat, Front Powerlog, and Cold Air Intake will still make the car notciably louder, but will sound good, and not be loud, so don't worry.

    Yeah, it sounds like you have a plan.

    Honestly, depending on your budget...

    TDC Racing Fenderwell Intake
    ZZPerformance 3" Catted Bolt-In Downpipe
    ZZPerformance Front Powerlog Manifold

    If you don't have them I'd get a 180* T-Stat, New Spark Plugs, preferrably Autolite 104's, get it tuned and you can drop to a 3.6" pulley and have one quick and decently quiet and emissions passable GTP.

    So...a Random Tech isn't expensive. I disagree. And they don't even let you buy it there as you have to go through a local dealer or vendor, etc.

    Random Technology 3" Downpipe/Hi-Flow Cat: 3800 Performance

    Or here... High Flow Catalytic Converter - 3.8L V6 Engines - PFYC

    Plus, Random Tech's are crap Downpipe's compared to ZZP's or Hogan's. For half the price...you bet your ass I'd buy a ZZP. For the money of a RT DP, you can get a ZZP Powerlog AND Catted Downpipe SHIPPED to your front door. $209.99+S&H and then you get the $50 store credit for returning your converter to them (they pay for the shipping back)...so essentially you get a Front Powerlog for only $69.99+S&H. That is still around $280 plus shipping so MAYBE $320...your still saving yourself over $100...don't see how that is a little much but correct me if I am wrong...sorry it if comes across as dick but I am trying to help you out and not get screwed by a crap product I have SEEN and heard bad reviews on. And trust me on the ZZP Exhaust parts...never let me down and I LOVED mine...breeze to install and if you didn't want to do it, an exhaust shop with air tools sure as hell will for cheap. The front manifold you can do by yourself in less than an hour or so.

    Carl - also check out Hogan Performance - they are "local" and many KC members are running DP's from them.

    Wasn't upset...just trying to explain myself that's all...I tend to ramble I was busted in the balls many times by a few 3800 companies in the past when I started modding my car and just don't want other people to have to deal with the crap.

    U know what's the cheapest way to go? Do like I did and buy a used one. I found a dude down the street from me in shawnee who was gettin rid of his dp. I ended up gettin a 3" catless dp AND front plog for $60! People r always gettin rid of their dp and plogs cuz they start out with those parts then want something more so they get headers. That's my opinion
