I'm partial to this one...

You can hear the exhaust note from 0.03 sec. - 0.10 sec. and again from 1:10 sec. - 1.25 sec. Let me know what you think. Exhaust mods in sig below.

Thanks. And I couldn't believe how loud it sounded when I first saw the video. Yeah, the Magnaflow mufflers are not modified in any way. I think the Kooks headers with the High Flow cats (I believe they are Random Technologies) helps with the sound too.

Man, that muffler delete sounds good! Bet it would sound awesome with the resonators deleted too. The cats should still keep it toned to where it will be loud but not sound like crap...

Sure... post it up in here. Any exhaust videos are fine. I was just trying to get a sound board together to hear different setups on the V...

itsslow98... That sounds bad *** for just a muffler delete! Thats what my buddy was telling me to do immediately but the car i bought ended up coming with a catback already on it or i would have.

But yeah, is imagine kooks, no cats and magnaflow will sound pretty bad ***! Might just have to search that clip online...

I'm not sure what the magnaflow cans look like on these cars, but the one I have on my firebird looks like a fullsize muffler but it's esentially just a bullet.

It didn't sound very loud when I stock exhaust with a mag catback. but when I had an uncatted setup with kooks lts on my h/c firebird making 460 to the tires, it was way to ******* loud. Inside the car sound decent but it was full of rasp, not clean sounding at all. I added a 24 inch bullet to the I pipe and 2 14 inch chambered mufflers where the cats would have been. Still to loud.

With that said, I think magnaflow is to loud. It just sounds quiet when you have cats and a resonator infront of it.

Thats true man. Its kinda like the corsa... quiet with everything else stock but one you open it up, it wakes up quite a bit especially under throttle. I dont know if ive ever heard anyone say magnaflow is too loud though. I know its always been on the more mellow end of the exhaust spectrum compared to the rest. It does have a nice tone to it though on all the cars ive heard it on at least.
