TSP exhaust
Well my interest to make my car sound a little different has again, returned. Im really liking the TSP, seems to sound the best without headers or changing the cat. Of course this doesn't come without questions, and as you all know, im good with those.
First, how loud is the TSP system, I want some more sound, but I don't want to wake the whole neighborhood up when I come home at night, my buddy has a system on his 4.3 in his sonoma you can hear from a mile away, thats not really what im looking for.
Second, is it worth getting a new cat, or just gut the stock one or what? How does the cat reflect the sound of the exhaust? The whole exhaust thing is still kinda new to me.

I never heard the rumbler on a v6 in person. Ive heard videos and it sounds allright. I had a flowmaster cat-back on my 3.8 i used to own, It didnt sound that bad and it wasnt annoyingly loud. My buddy has the systerm on his 93 Z and it sounds BA.

I never got annoyed of it. I'd say go for it. It's cheaper, it sounds good on the 3.8... It is all a matter of opinion of if it is TOO loud though.
