V6 exhaust

After months of reading forums and watching YouTube videos, I finally got my exhaust done. Ireplaced the crossover with a magnaflow resonated croosover, left the stock tesonators in, and repaced the muffler with straight pipes. I used the original tips. I could not be more pleased with the sound! Loud enough without being obnoxious, a great wail near redline, and minimal drone. Here is a video, https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...&id=1312965014

I couldn't see it either. Would enjoy hearing what it sounds like.

This is the set up I am going with as well. Probably going to pick up some high flow cats as well and do the whole exhaust at the same time. From what I've seen, there are two options, Solo and ARH correct?

Can someone confirm? I think someone mentioned the ARH were cheaper... any major difference people are seeing or aware they pretty much equal in terms of quality and performance?

Hooker also makes high-flow cat assemblies for the LFX, and there might be one other company but I can't remember, but in either case the main difference is that Solo's assemblies include resonators whereas the other's do not. Solo said that they thought the exhaust sounded bad without the resonators so decided to include them as standard. Solo uses 200 cell cats; I believe the other companies do too but you may want to check (I think basically the fewer number of cells the less restrictive; factory ones are 700 cell).

Personally I plan to go with Solo's as the resonators will help deepen the tone - the resonators might make the exhaust a bit quieter but I tend to stick with the "quality over quantity" motto.
