Poor Mans Exhaust!!!

Poor Mans Exhaust!!! I took my Magnaflow exhaust to get taken off by my exhaust guy. The owner before me had the exhaust welded and clamped. I couldn't get it off myself after trying and trying. lol
After he took off the catback, I asked him if he wanted to weld that 3" turn down he had just laying on the floor to the Y-pipe. He said, "Sure!"
All in all it cost me $20 for him to take off the exhaust and weld a turn down on to the Y-pipe.
This thing sounds sick as hell now
and isn't really that loud. Don't even waste your time with a loudmouth exhaust, just get a turn down on your Y-pipe.
I will post some sound clips of it tomorrow!

I'm like 100% sure he still has his cats. and he does, I can see it not being unreasonably loud. but if no cats, then no way in hell. I did something similar to this when I got my first trans am in 2001. I was 17 and didn't know better. I did the true duals dumped before the axle with no cats and no mufflers. the exhaust guy was like, are u sure u wanna do this. haha. it was fackin loud as hell. I didn't dare get on it at all. I was scared to. took it back the next day and put bullets on it.

Isnt there a law that says that exhaust has to exit past the rear bumper on passenger cars? Not that i care, I have a very similar setup, but I was just curious..Other than that, I bet it sounds good and he did lose a few lbs, getting rid of the muff and extra pipe...good idea!

before i had my gmmg, my car had a shitty resonator and a turn down. it sounded badass and like you said wasn't too loud. i miss it but the gmmg sounds a lot cleaner to me.

wish somebody would just build a damn exahust for our cars that are a block hugger style ceramic headers with room for #8 plug to be changed, and either an X pipe or a Y-pipe that tucked UP instead of hanging down * STUPID SLP ORY *so that when we ditch the 4x4 look we dont beat the hell outta our exhaust going over anything...
and nice touch..i havent seen that before and you need to post a vid clip asap!!

lol that's probably loud as hell, I was running stock cats and y-pipe with nothing after for a little while last fall. It was enough to scare people, but not as obnoxious as some heads/cam/longtubes/no cats cars.
