NJ goat posted some nice sounding GTO's. Go to incredible sounding Goat on the active strand. You can see what's in their packages to get that sound.

I like this one:

One of the best ways you'll probably get a muscle car sound is with a h-pipe, no resonator and FlowMaster Super 44s. Plus long tube headers and a nice aggressive cam helps as well.

Here is a clip of my resonator delete with straight pipes, and then the new Flowmaster Super 44 Series Mufflers. I did not get on her too hard because I just brought her home that day after surgery and didnt want to piss neighbors off too loud with noise. Here is a clip.

Okay, Flowmasters is defineately the way to go for old school muscle car sound. I have heard some borla's, it sounded euro to me and raspy. Just my opinion. THe super 44s sound great!!!!

Does anyone have an x-pipe, 44s, and K&N intake? If so, how does it sound and how has it affected HP and performance?

I have Borla on my '04 A4 and I love it. Mine came with an "H"-pipe and I like that deep rumble. I think that Raspy sound NJ Goat is talking about is people who get Borla with an "X"-pipe.

Borla with the H-pipe sounds really good. I might have gone with that if I heard it in person first. And If I wasn't so eager to start modding.

As for the X-pipe replacement. I had my X on for a few weeks. Then I took it off and put the resonator back on. I liked the sound at first. But at 2k RPM's the interior renascence was too much for me. Had to keep tissues in the car for the nose bleeds. Maybe I'll try out the good old H-pipe next.
