Well it is a persons preferrence w/ aftermarket. I like Flowmaster systems after the headers. Check out every company you can find for headers though dont just look at a couple companies.
If it comes to it, theres ALWAYS fabrication [sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

yea i was going to do a custom job from my catyltic covertors put the flowmaster new 44 seriesmidwayand run madnral bends all throught out and have them come out looking stock but with diffrent tips.

i scrapped a side pipe job cause it would take the look away from the cadillac and decided on this to give it a nice V8 sound and make it a lil unique. prob get me in the 235hp range if its done right. Looked for headers none came close and the opel companies dont make Omega B parts no more.

I cant speak for the others but the flowmasters, at around 3,000 rpm, let a V8 GROWL.
You know, the kind of growl that makes the gravel dance on the side of the road and teeth rattle.
at lower rpm, it has a deep clean sound.

MY 5.0 has that. [sm=signs007.gif]

I do believe that we got several Allantes running with either Borla or Edelbrock mufflers.
These cars dont sound like Cadillacs but I do believe that such was the intent.
