cheap exhaust/catback for a blown 408
cheap exhaust/catback for a blown 408 right now i have LT, ORY and a dynomouth and my neighbors hate me.... the car is so much louder with the blower and big cubes its almost too loud to drive around town or my house for that matter....
im just looking for a cheap solution that will really quiet this thing down then use cutouts for the track... i would prefer to get rid of any rasp because the car has been raspy all its life... it like some decent tone but most of all quiet so the cops and neighbors will quit bitchin...
Thanks,
Tyler

Hooker catback is your solution. Just put a cutout before it for track use. I switched from a Loudmouth with Cats to a hooker without cats and the Hooker without cats sounds better with no rasp and no one hates me lol.

Now since im heading with my car towards a more race setup im looking for 1 7/8 headers with 3" step up and then 3" true duals before the axle.
Cant get any simpler, cheaper and less restrictive then this. 3" Y-pipe into a flowmaster 3" to 4" merge and a 4" split flow muffler. I had a 4" dynomax bullet on it before and I think it amplified the sound 
This is by no means as quiet as a hooker (what I had on there before) but its tolerable. The hooker doesnt fit with this gas tank so that was that. I used to just drop the whole muffler and tailpipe with the hooker when I went to the track, takes about 5 minutes.

and you said it was pretty quiet for nice neighborhood driving?
if i need to i can always put a spiral flow in the I pipe...
i plan to have QTEC's at each header or just have it where the sprial flow dumps the exhaust like yours does now when the hooker is off....
i think i would get my self in trouble with the ability to have open headers in a matter of a flip of a switch
