    I have a 06 cammed with longtubes, x pipe and 2 spin tech mufflers and it sounds amazing, Pretty loud cold start but driving it sounds so amy

    Honestly sounds perfect, I would’ve thought it would’ve had a lot more chop and be a bit louder, very quiet for a cam and straight pipe not obnoxious at all

      Mufflers get rid of the clap noise. If you want it loud without clapping, cut the cats off and run a single Flowmaster or aggressive style muffler. Problem solved. No clapping.

      Also if you do a x pipe with longtubes you won't have any clap and if you are worried about passing inspections you can do high flow cats.
