Get Some longtubes. Whatever brand you prefer. Run the exhaust back in either a Y or X pipe and get a muffler you like and your set. You will need to get a tune

The SLP dual-dual is a great exhaust thats already on your car with longtubes. Get some longtubes and it will be much louder when you step on it but mellow at normal cruise.

now this is sounding like a good option... cause i like the mellow tone of these pipes but man they restrictive.... and does this car have that "flat" pipe? i aint really been under it to look......

and if i do long tubes alone will i still need to tune? i am sure i will after i do the air box....... also today i picked up an SLP MAF sittin in a guys car he is parting out.... will this help me any or do i need to shuck it and buy a lid?

I have a 1 year old SLP Loud Mouth 2 with the slash cut SLP tips on mine that I might be interested in trading for your full Dual Dual setup (mainpipe, muffler, tipes, and other stuff from everything behind the cat to the tips). I'm in St. Louis and it'd have to be done here at a local shop. Or you can buy the LM2 off of me and I'll order an GMMG.

The SLP Dual dual is not a restrictive exhaust at all. It is one of the highest flowing out there, it is just quiet.


The stock manifolds are restrictive.. replace them with longtubes and all will be well. Yes you will need a tune. You don't really need an aftermarket maf, a lid would be a much better choice.
