my 95 was 2" I cleaned all the cats. drove for awhile that way. but after three cop cars were at a accident I drove by (NOT getting on it just cruising) all 6 officers stopped what they were doing and looked my way I decided to put glass packs on.(untill I find a set of mufflers I like the sound of) B.T.W. I have LSC exhaust. I really did'nt notice a huge perf difference either(sounds better though.)

Do NOT get glasspacks.

Mid mount a Flowmaster 50 series, 2.5 inch pipe, and a X pipe for that signature "Cobra" sound...

why not?

Because they'll sound like CRAP. But hey, some people like that raspy aluminum can sound.

Just go get a magnaflow and have it mid-mounted.

No. STRAIGHT PIPE FIRST. Then if it's too loud, get mufflers.

I mid-mounted a 50 Series Flowmaster, not loud enough for me - I shoiuld have gone with a mid mount Flowmaster Super 40 Series.

I would put the X-pipe in FRONT of the muffler.

The muffler don't drag. I'm surprised I don't see more people doing the dual in/ dual out magnaflow muffler any more.

I have a dual in/dual out Magnaflow on my 97 Tbird (somewhat the same set-up as the Marks with the pipe routing), and the darn thing droned inside like crazy. Plus it wasn't as loud as I wanted - it didn't turn heads. With the Mark I went with the Flowmaster but I chose the wrong one. At the time I didn't know that there was a dual in/dual out Super 40 Series.

I'm running dual in/out.
