U sure it not have cats delted? or even maybe duels tru? wel lI have ran with no muffler a few times, once when I was waiting for the catback to come in so it was just open y-pipe, 2nd time was when I had to put the stock cat-back back on for inspection purposes, sounded mean as hell with a open Y-pipe, and kinda raspy with open pipe at the rear, if you do it either way, say good bye to keeping a conversation going when driving. Oh and FYI, proof reading helps out alot

Some people can proof read it 50 times, and it won't matter lol

It'll be loud as all heck. They don't call it a muffler because of how it looks!

And the Cold Air Intake will give you some tone change but power as well. You'd be better off getting a good muffler and replace it.

K now lets see if I can dumb it down again.

Cold Air INtake is makes u fastr n loudur. 50mure power than under glow. Fast pimp and loud is for realz, total awsum!

If you guys are talking about ZSU he doesnt use correct grammer etc because he lives in Turkey so he is alowed to not type the way we are used to lol.

In other words dont be too hard on him he lives clear on the other side of the world and is still trying to support the 4th gen cars as well as mod them.

Dont just cut the muffler off it will sound bad. If you really want to make it sound good get a set mid length or long tube headers to replace the exhaust manifolds then put an electric exhaust cut out in the pipe right before it goes over the rear axle. I will put some links below. Running open pipes with stock manifolds will sound bad while running open pipes with a set of headers will sound good. Are you could get a x pipe and some small bullet mufflers and dump them before the rear axle and do away with the old exhaust all to gether.

I remember he said he was from Turkey, so that's why I didn't post a smart *** comment.
ZSU: I had a hooker catback with longtubes and catted y-pipe. The muffler is bolted on, so one day I took it off for ***** and giggles. It was really loud but it didn't sound good at all. It was fun being obnoxious for a little while, but got annoying quick. There is no tone at all; just deep drone that sounded horrible. It doesn't give you any noticable power. It's not necessarily the muffler that robs power, it's the small piping and too many bends that ruins velocity. As for the cold air intake, it's only for power. However, if you have a quiet exhaust (stock), you can actually hear the intake sucking in air from inside the car.

Yes I am from worldwide, Turkey.

And thats why, my grammar is bad and I know that. But sure you will understand my lang.

In my country there are 2007 Mustangs, Escalades-Navigators /which sells 170.000$( but not have Offical sellers or Services. They talk different cuz they have tongue. So I cant trust that people..

PS. Any one know Stock TransAm A4 convertible 0-62 accelaration? I cannot find real specifications.

So you guyz say, "dont pull of stock muffler, that dont give Horsepower just bad sound", Iam confused becuz at 1996 Gm change the exshaust then it give 10 HP. What is the ropes for power with cheap way?

Replace the stock filter to open air intake like K&n it will give horsepower and sound? (Idont know how much horse power it will give.)

He has a legit excuse, so he's one of the lucky few lol You might be amazed at how many people actually DO talk like that. It's very disturbing.

I don't know what all is available over there, and how much shipping for something is, but I'd be running a Magnaflow, SLP or another one that is slipping my mind right now (not Flowmaster, they sound bad *** but apparently aren't good on our cars).

The 10 HP increase was because in 96 they went to a dual cat exhaust.


Buy an exhaust cutout. It bypasses the muffler but keeps it there for when you don't want it to be loud.
