So I had the Lethal o/r pipe, stock cat to axle pipe and GT500 mufflers... and it sounded like a Mustang should. No complaints!!!
Coming from a long line of "Built" LSX cars, and experience with magnaflow exhaust, I pulled the trigger and added the comp exhaust kit for better flow, etc...
The kit is nice, fit and finish is perfect and believe it or not... It's much more mellow/deeper than the sound clips that have been provided on here and/or youtube. I know that everyone tries to help by posting sound clips, but not everyone realizes that it sounds much different and often quieter, in person, than through a "fair" (at best) camera microphone. In person, this is a fantastic sounding setup and if you are on the fence for LT's, o/r x-pipes, magnaflow comp, or any other setups, I am telling you that it is my opinion, that this is the best sounding s197 setup, WITHOUT LT's. Opinions are like you know what, but I am only sharing with those who aren't sure, even after hearing some sound clips.
If you listen to a sound clip of this EXACT setup, like lethal, which is helpful, it is bordering on too loud, for some, especially when they drive down and around the corner, getting on it. Remember, they are in a somewhat industrial area, so there are buildings to reflect the noise. Standing near it, with your ears, not a microphone, it is much tamer, but still beastly going through the gears and absolutely awesome at WOT...
Again, this is solely my experience and opinion. These are not sponsor plugs, this is just an information to research as so many post threads to get feedback, or help, making a decision.
Note: You will need a lift, to get the car up high enough, to remove the longer pipes and to put the new one's on. On a lift, with two sets of hands, cordless impact, a few sockets, this swap took 35 minutes. Really.
