Darn it. I keep overlooking that. OP keep your eye on the member's classified ads on this site. You can get some really good deals on axle back and cat back systems here. Someone is selling a GM PP axle back for $350 right now. That's a great deal and those sound good.

You can get an axle back that is not a muffler delete. Cat back has really negligible gains on a mostly stock car.

You're in PA...go with Pypes. They are local and cheap. I may be biased.

I have the Solo axleback with J-pipes and I still have my factory resonator (L99). How well will this same setup sound if I go with LT Headers with HF cats and keep my factory resonator?

If you are adding headers I would go ahead and install an x-pipe and get rid of the resonator. It is heavy and muffles the sound a lot.

I'm no expert and most of what I know I've learned through extensive and careful reading here on C5. Great members and vendors eager to share. Of utmost importance is that you know what you want. Once that is established, I guarantee you someone here will have the perfect solution. One great piece of advice I picked up here and used to my great benefit was "work from the engine back". IMHO, there's not much point to making noise if its not the result of a performance increase. Headers into the OE catback will give the best performance and a noticeable improvement in sound quality and volume without overdoing it. Then, if you want more, you can modify the mid-pipe and or mufflers. There have been many threads on C5 bemoaning starting with the mufflers.

Will my Solo axleback with J-pipes still stop unwanted drone with the x pipe? Will this be to loud......My Solo exhaust has no mufflers, just j-pipes? Should I go with a complete cat back exhaust after my header install? Thanks for your response.

I don't quite follow you there. Anyway, I was looking for a certain level of sound (not too loud unless I goose it) and I figured removing the resonator would make it louder (inside and out) than I wanted.

My advice....get a decent cai ( most of the name brands are good) , then save your money for the supercharger and longtubes. Get it all done and tuned at once. Problem most run into is getting cat back before headers....then finding it too loud when they do.

Everything I've read would point me to a CAI brand cai. Enclosed box and don't have to move the wiper fluid tank. Good looking and good gains for the $. Cold Air Industries is the way I'd go if I were in the market for a cold air intake, no doubt. Exhaust I can't speak on. I like the old Flowmaster 40 series but I don't think they make those anymore.
