    electronic cut-out, like right after the DP, so it would be super mega loud. It more so for racing and showing off.

    But anyways, your best bet is to either swap to some different mufflers or just leave it alone, you wont really be able to get a bunch more sound without deleting the mufflers and being deaf all the time.

    Whatever headers are reccomended for your GXP, and a Borla catback would be the best sounding hands down.

    "Nice" and "Loud" are relative terms.

    i backed into a curb and smashed my tail pipe into my muffler. so now the back is now torn open, its so damn loud, and my ears are breading from the drone, dont know how anyone goes muffler less in these cars.

    stock exhaust or bust!

    its as close as your are going to get to a open header on these cars with out dropping the exhaust. but really worth less.

    He has a V8 Scotty. V8s sound a lot better than V6, even if it is sideways.

    well shush my mouth lol i would have to agree, a v8 always sounds better. but open pipe gets real old real fast with any engine.

    back in HS i had a 77 gmc pick up, 350 with headers, a 1 foot pipe and a turbo muffler off each header, and thats was it. i could be heard a mile away. after a few months i wished it was quieter, turning the truck off a block from home to coast into the drive way got old fast too. (when trying to sneak in late)

    these days im happy to just hear the sc whine every now and then, dont need to announce im coming.

    Just remember, Cut outs always will leak at some point, and most leak immediately. Sooner or later you will get tired of the annoyance and then be trying to replace the stuff you hacked out. ASK MOST OF US- it was a good idea at the time, but a week later seemed, time would told different.
