Im running mac shorty headers , bbk o/r x pipe with flowmaster mufflers turndowns. Theyre ok just whenever you gotta smog the smog tech bitches about it. Im actually thinking of running pipes now though to quiet it up a bit.

Turndown 5.0's sound all the same. I wouldn't do it. Save some money up and get either magnapacks, slp, or arrow mufflers with 2 1/2 pipes to the back. You'll be sounding real nice!

keep the tailpipes, just buy a new kit. like what was said, turndowns get old in a DD and the cops will be looking at you even more.
i had mac equal length shorty headers, mac off-road h pipe and mac mufflers with pipes for a bit before the turndowns and loved it. and please, don't put flows on your car. make it sound a bit different from every other 50 out there....

It all depends on what you like... Turn downs will make it louder inside, but I ran off road h with slp's dumped an it was loud as f*ck!! The less bends you have the less restriction.

Like a hippo getting rapped from an elephant! ahahahahahah
My little 89 sounds alright with turn downs, bbk x and fms shorts and two chambers. I prefer the x over the h sound for some reason. I prefer the look of pipes though. I miss my pipes for that reason.
