Brand & model: DC sports headers (3-1) & Custom Test pipe/hi-flow cat.
Price paid and from where: $180 from a friend (used),and $70 from the same friend (Brand new)
Pros: makes my Flowmasters 40s sound more aggressive,i definitely know i got some gains not just butt dyno. Also theyre lighter than our headers/cat,one of our oem headers is heavier than both DC headers.
Cons:None as of now,will update if i get any.
Final verdict:Love this setup,the sound is much better with my flowmasters (even tho i hated these mufflers) than when i took out my oem mid mufflers in place of a straight pipe (holy batman drone & loudness). i'll probably get a full catback in the future.

Brand & Model: 5Zigen Fireball Axel-Backs
Price paid and where from: $100, 6GA member
Pros: They sound very good in my opinion, not too loud, not too soft. Nice deep tone. Great product.
Cons: They could be a tad louder, if you're in to that sort of thing.

I could not find a sound clip of these anywhere when I was contemplating purchasing them. So, I decided to make one for anyone who may be wanting to buy these.

Brand & Model: NRG Innovations universal exhaust (muffler), Auto Zone cat delete pipe

Price and where from: NRG muffler: $80 from a local "race parts" store (can be purchased online). delete pipe was like $14.99

Pros: cheap mod and slight low end power gain. lots of top end. sounds great. nice and deep, not high pitched, raspy, or metal sounding at all.

Cons: Muffler is universal, so it needs to be welded on. not loud enough for me.
