Pics of Exhuast Setups

Could you guys post some pics of your exhaust setups?
I am really wanting to see pics og JDM Silver Bullet, Bassani, and Magnaflow. And also pics of the high-flow cats and headers.
Thanks,
Simon

Dman, I may sound like a Magnaflow salesman, but trust you, I'm not:

With that disclaimer, I highly recommend the Magnaflow catback. For around $350 shipped to your door and 45 minutes using hand tools, I cant believe I waited this long to do it (2 year old truck with 8000 miles)

It's really well built and will most likely last as long as the truck does. Dont expect a performance gain, but the sound and looks are worth it. Those stock pipes just dont fill up that side exhaust well, these do (3.5" tips). Easy to clean and polish. The sound is nice upon startup, cruising around town at 45 MPH and on the highway doing 70-80. I didnt switch out the cats at this point, fearing some loss of low end torque with my stock engine. Maybe down the road. But for the price, the looks and sound are well worth it. Im no longer ashamed of the right (passenger) side of my truck! I find myself purposely putting my exhaust pipes next to every GM and Asian import drivers eardrum on the road this past week.

Heard Bassani was good to, but since Ive heard of some traction bar fitment problems with 'em (and Im installing traction bars), decided to go with the Magnaflow.

This isnt a catback where you say to yourself "does it sound better now?". You'll know upon startup and the first time it rolls you made a good choice for the money.

I just bought a Magnaflow from **** about a month ago and it was $410 to my door in Arkansas. Seems there has been a price increase since I had been hearing around $375 from him before. However they do have a healthy rumble and look good, although my tips are very slightly misalighned.

How is the resonance with the magnaflow set up? I had a magnaflow on my mustang GT and it sounded great, except at freeway speeds it had horible resonance.

I drive the freeway to work everyday and need a set up that sounds great but is quiet on from 60+ MPH.

Thanks,
Jeff
