what system to get?

ok guys, i've come that time where my dinky dynomax muffler isn't making the sound i like and that it's time for a flowmaster. i want to get a cat-back system but there's one problem: i'm torn between the force II and the american thunder systems. i want an aggressive sound but i don't want to get pulled over for the loudness. i checked their PDF listing for my GTA and they said if i wanted a muffler i would have to get the 80 series. is that loud or too loud? and does it come with the force II or american thunder system?

thanks, GTAman :hail:

P.S. who sells good hi-flo CATs? will i need to get bigger pipes? i have the stock size currently.

Forget Flowmaster, SLP:rockon:. I've heard good things about Random Tech Cats, but theyre rather pricey.

Get the Flowmaster AT system, it shouldn't be too loud.

I second that notion, although it would be interesting to hear a dynomax sound clip, hint hint, lol.
