With 50lbs less weight at the rear is the car still perfectly balanced? should be ok but just want to think this through...anything to consider?

When is loud too loud ?

I don' really see a downside to too loud, except I think they ruin the sound of that beautiful V10.

I see people installing AWE on their CGT but not so much the ones you listed.

The AWE seems to get recommended... any owners with upgraded exhausts care to comment?

It's beyond loud.

I'd keep it stock but if you must, the GMG exhaust looks pretty sharp.

i like straight pipes but they are loud as hell

stock sounds pretty damn good to be honest, a much more refined sound.

The only downside to the AWE pipes is that they sound better than God himself and that makes him a little jealous.

Upside: when you rev the engine, it's so loud that it'll blow girls clothes off.

I think they nailed it with the stock sound.

The downside is that GMG sounds better.
