Default Opinions please...

Short vid of my '99 z28 with stock manifolds and stock y with no cats and no muffler(exhaust cut off in front of axle).

Let me hear your opinions on how it sounds.

How much louder would it be if I were to get true duals dumped before the axle?

Sounds pretty good. I would leave it alone unless you wanted to upgrade to headers at the same time.

Thanks. Didn't cost me a dime except a new fuel pump! LOL

By the way, what part of Sooner Nation are you from? I'm from the Tulsa area.

EDIT: I just looked at your profile and the picture of your car and I swear I saw your car today on 44 heading to Tulsa from Catoosa(just west of the casino). I was heading east towards Verdigris. I have a '99 z28 NBM with grey stripes and a billet grill.

My SES light is on because of my o2's or lack their of(no cats) and for some reason after I put in a new fuel pump 7-8 months ago my ABS INOP light has been on and I have no idea why. I have checked, double checked and triple checked all the connections under my rear end that I had to un-plug when I dropped my tank to put a new fuel pump in, to make sure that they are secure and they are.

As far as driving and braking I can't tell a difference at all regarding my brakes prior to and after installing the fuel pump.

Also as noticed, my Change Oil light comes on and stays on for a minute and then goes off everytime I start it and drive it, even after I've just had an oil change.

Thanks! I would really like headers but I think that might be a little "too" loud for when my daughter rides with me.

Thanks man. Yea, it's basically a cutout without the additional muffler. I will try and get some WOT runs posted this weekend. It sounds like a freakin nascar at WOT, I love it! ******* loud!

The ABS light is probably on due to no speed signal from the rear wheels. Now if you have a 4 channel rear there will be a speed sensor at each rear wheel on the backing plate getting their signals from the end of the axle. If you have a 3 channel rear there will be one speed sensor in the top of the "pumpkin" that is getting its signal from the ring gear. I would check these connections and see if any of the wires may have been damaged during the removal.

Oil change light: When you change your oil you have to reset it your self. Key on, engine off, hold the trip reset button until the "oil change" light turns off. (takes about 10 seconds) and thats it!

Thanks for the info man! I'll check into that as soon as the weather dries up here. How do I know if I have a 4 channel vs a 3 channel rear? Sorry for the stupid question.

You look at the rear end. If you have one electrical connection at the center of the axle(pretty much follow the drive shaft straight back to the rear and it will be on the top of the "pumkin") this is a three channel (2 signals from the front wheel speed sensors, and 1 signal from the rear end at the ring gear, 2+1=3. 4 channel has a sensor at each rear wheel on the backing plate. 2 rear wheel speed sensors + 2 the two front sensors = 4channel.

Thanks for the information. I'll take a look as soon as I get a chance and the ground is not wet from rain.
