1400 with no mufflers? Is the pipe gold plated?

I understand that a lot goes into but god.. You could do a cam instead of that exhaust
very true, to me its not worth it, but everyone has there own taste and is willing to spend the money

I paid with install and bullet mufflers 2.5inch from cats over the axle and into my tips I believe 400 or 500? nice welds easy to uninstall.....my buddy with a 98 camaro had 3inch over the axle from the same shop with no mufflers at first and that **** WAS SO LOUD i could hear him from a 1/2 mile away it was clean loud too...he eventually put sprialflo's on it his rattled all over too 3inch is too much overkill........i have not one rattle with my 2.5inch with the mac mids and the corsa tips and the cam mine sounds like a BOAT....

I have the TSP dumped 3" system on a car with nothing more than an Intake, throttle body, lid, and Pacsetters, and it shakes my car. Of course i have bullets. They sound excellent at idle up to about 2,000 rpms, then they get obnoxious real quick.

I had a duals dumped before the axel Sweet thunders with an H pipe on my T/A and at first I didnt like. T/As need tips in my opinion but once i heard the exhaust i got over that real quick duals is the only way to go in my op. Over ,under, or dumped duals the only way
