I hope youre gonna stay stock if thats your plan. When i pull into my office garage i shake my bosses windows and i've got mufflers. i cant see how youre comparing cats to a muffler.

if you wanna save weight just run a bullet muffler, it will still be loud as crap, and you'll save weight over a full exhaust setup

i want to hear it, with a dumped y. i have a friend that has it and its not that bad.

part of the reason i want to do it is because it saves about ~40lbs in the rear worth of pipes.
no it had a definite lope to it, and the sweet thunders sound great with just bolt on but are wicked with a cam...i just couldnt dd it with a cam.

thanks, i've enjoyed it quite a bit i tried to keep the camera far away from the car so you could actually hear it without killing the mic on the camera.

like its been mentioned about 3 times you are highly unlikely to find many if any people that have cats w/ out mufflers and then run pipe into dumps

it just doesnt make much sense.

if you want it loud and dont care about state laws run headers n some straight pipes

where i live i dont have to run cats so i dont, if i didnt have to run mufflers i still would
i have sweet thunders and they sound wicked, its loud , has a great sound at idle and cruisin and when i mash that gas its loud as ****. ill put it too ya this way.
2 months ago it was 245 am , beer oclock is 3 am so i had 15 minutes befor sober time.
so i jumped in the camaro, got beers came back n saved the day right? nope.
i got a ticket for noise violation. neighbors complained they got woke up. thats how loud it is.
when i come home 9 times out of 10 the garage is being opened for me befor the car hits the driveway, i dont have a remote i have family members that can hear me coming that far away.
i set off car alarms! especially in parking garages!

trust me headers, duals, bullet mufflers n dumps is plenty loud

drone with these mufflers occurs around 1700-1900 rpm. other than that, they are great. if you run them out the back, the drone is completely eliminated, however, it doesn't sound as good to me as the dumped setup does at WOT.

this is a idle vid I made when I had the tail pipes on it. i have it setup with 3 bolt flanges at the ends of the mufflers so that I can go back and forth between dumped or out the back. I may put the pipes back on it. Sounds pretty good in that vid.

Here is mine with the 3" temp pipes on before i put the xpipe in. I will get you another clip with it the way it is now.

The clip in my sig is it going down the drag strip with the new exhaust dumped at the rear with 2.5" and xpipe with the bullets.

I ran something similar, cats and a Y pipe. all I did was remove the muffler from my catback and I tell ya it sounded good at idle, but it was way too loud, and with any sort of throttle it was nearly unbearable-according to my neighbors and wife.
Something else I didnt like was the popping and high pitch vibration at WOT.

Dumped past the cabin is really a term for trucks. Because it's a closed cabin and no fumes can enter the vehicles. For a car it must be past the rear bumper, or in some stock aplication and curtain acceptions it's leaving the vehicle (side exit exhaust).

that may be true on farm trucks but do you honestly think that our "cabin" doesn't go to the back of our cars???
