Default Finally get my exhaust!

Tomorrow I am finally getting my set up after having to spend 500 on my air conditioner It will be 2.5 diameter h pipe, flowmaster 40s. and 3.5 inch tips. I have looked at tons of vids but the quality is not really great at all. In all your opinions how do you think it will sound?

Are you serious about going with 3.5 tips??
Also depends on the brands to know how it will sound...

x2 Your getting my old setup. It'll sound good, but it will leave you wanting more. . .Like Long Tubes. And after you get those, you're gunna want to get a cam. And since you're digging into the engine anyways, you might as well throw some ported heads and an upper/lower intake right? It's never ending. Welcome to the black hole my friend.

On a serious not, it'll sound 100x better than stock. You'll like it. I'm replacing my Flows with MACs pretty soon.

I've got the 44's, but either way, it'll sound much better. Youtube videos don't give the sound justice. Just wait until you turn that key for the first time..

I picked it up today it sounds deep. Sounds not that much louder on the inside but outside it growls. Will it get louder once I break it in more?
