Default got my exhaust done. one mean soundin caddy!

well, i took a trick out another members book and replaced the resonator with a magnaflow x-pipe and deleted the mufflers. used some SS 3" pipe i had left over from another car for the tips. looks nice, sounds great and only cost $264 all said and done.



ive got a video, and ill try and post some pics in the next few days.

it sounds like ive got a performance system on it. sounds nice in my opinion. not annoying.

i was surprised at how loud it was when i heard my wife drive it down my street. it sounds much more aggressive outside than in.

im very pleased at the sound quality. i cant imagine any name brand system sounding as good, volume and tone.

i did consider putting on some dynomax bullets on there to mellow it out. i wont do that unless i get bothered by the coppers.

i may get some better footage up later next week.

cant wait to hear some more. cant briong myself to spend the money on an aftermarket exhaust just for the sound and minimal hp. if you could get an interior clip and possibly some banging thorugh a gear or two. sound sgreat in the clip just curious about what i listed.

Looks like it will be tomorrow. Idiots cut the tips off the mufflers and welded the new tips on. At the moment, it doesn't really sound any different. Dumb asses.

As in to trick you that they actually installed it when they didn't?

Is anyone running headers, hi-flow cats, x-pipe and no mufflers? Probably be too loud is my thinking.
