I like to think my car is loud enough to be noticed when I want it to be....not loud enough to scare someone else off the road. 
In fact, if anyone at the upcoming October NJ fun ride thinks my car is loud enough to scare the snot out of anyone else on the road, I would like to be so informed. Especially, since it will be passing its second inspection, since we bought it, tomorrow.
(And yes, I said "passing inspection," not "getting inspected". I'm that confident of its roadworthiness and legality.

(with headers, high flow cats and borla muffler ... yeah, it's a tad bit loud...but not evil!
)
If you have ever heard and 'felt' the Porsche V8 at WOT pushing past 6k rpm's with an X-pipe no-cats, Flowmasters and RMB, you would change your mind and revert back to killing animals with a club, living in a cave, and saying "Me Allen UGH" to everyone. It just makes you fell like a cromagnum man.

I joke that I have fallen asleep at more symphony concerts than anyone else has been to (because it's true), but give me my race car and let the damn daily driver be stealth!!! There is a time and place for everything especially Bwaaaaah!

(Absolutely frickin' right...dammit...can't believe I went for the old, "whatever he said is right," schtick without checking my own internal dictionary!!!!

I started out wanting the Y-Pipe to replace the cat. Now I'm hesitant after reading some of the post about back pressure and torque curves. For my application and usage, is the Y-Pipe without a cat a good option? Should I just do the Borla cat back system?

21/2" pipes straight out the back
I`m replaceing the exhaust on my 1980 S with 2 High Performance mufflers and an X pipe and SS tips. Has anyone ever just ran the pipes straight out the back?? Which on my S would be close to the gas tank. Would a heat resistor be needed? It`s not like it would be an open flame or spark problem. Also, I`ve been reading up on crossover pipes and have read that the X should be placed as far to the rear as possible. Any feedback on any of this???

--add second muffler
-- different muffler besides the borla's.
