    Hope they set a reasonable price. That catback system was priced for Wall Street trader salaries.

    Same here. The kooks axlebacks on the LT/cats/mid-x pipe have way too much drone!

    I want an axle back that:
    Bolts to the factory or aftermarket mid pipe
    Has no drone with a nice burble at idle when closed
    Loud when open but somewhat limited drone
    Under $1000

    Is that too much to ask?

    GXP muffs with electric cut-outs ahead of them dumped to the ground. Loud as shit when you want, yet quite when you don't.

    Or, try adding a Helmholtz chamber on the Kooks. Kooks sound badass for sure!

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

    +1 on the GXP axle backs. You don't even need the cut-outs to get loud WOT sound, but if you ease into the throttle, the GXPs stay pretty tame.

    I just like the sound of the wortecs based on some youtube vids that I found from folks outside of the US.

    Hey Doc, it's been months since I've heard anything. Did they scrap the plan for axlebacks?
