Header / Exhaust Combo

Ok, I need to know what you guys think. I was thinking of getting the magnaflow exhaust and pairing it with the weapon-r header / cat delete. I have a few questions to anyone that has already done this and/or is knowledgable about this. With the 60# injectors and this setup, will it have a nice sound to it? I want it to possbly gurgle like a baby SRT...lol. I know it won't sound the same because its not turbo though. Does anyone know if the Borla will suit my needs? I don't know if the 2 1/4" piping is too restrictive.

Wow, I'm a damn noob.

Still a little skeptical about the brand CTI. Haven't heard anything amazing yet.

CTI is the only brand that I've never heard anything negative about either... If it wasn't $700, I'd buy it next week... alas... I can't drop that coin yet...

I think I'm gonna get the GMPP manifold for now, it will last forever and I can always sell it off for at least 1/2 of what I paid...

ZZP is supposed to be coming out with a long tube, they have a pic of it where it's supposed to be a pic of the header/downpipe combo. Looks nice. Should be cheaper than the CTI one as well.

Thats the exact same setup I think im going to go for man. I figure it will run me about 1150 shipped. Have you priced it out yet? If so what did u come up with?

Yea because Weapon-R has a stellar history for making great parts for our car.

Weapon-R Engine Damper is junk, Weapon-R Intake is junk, so I can only assume that the header will follow this pattern.

I am getting the GM performance header, ZZP downpipe and Thermal exhaust here in the next month or 2.

I care more about sound than horsepower. The 3" is just way too loud for my liking. CTI is great stuff from what I heard, just loud. with the cat-less header it wil be 20x louder.

CTI also makes, to me, the best design for our cars. It's not a shorty, it's a full long tube, but it's got nice long/wide runners, a nice merge and less bends than others... it's just that damn price...

Its the nicest looking header man. Theres lots of dyno logs on it on the .net forums. And I heard that the resonater is well put in that 3 incher! Still kinda loud though <according to the sound clips i heard on ss.net>.....
