As you may know im going to TSP monday to get some of the mods in my sig put on. anyways lubbock is like 3hrs away and i want to keep my old SLP Dual/Dual cat-back and really have no way of getting it back home. Plus i kinda wanted to see what it would sound like without a muffler. I cut the pipe just after it goes over the axle right before the muffler. it sounds pretty good actualy, I was impressed with it. the only thing is that under WOT when it shifts(A4) it makes this wierd clankin matalic poppy sound. I guess what im doing is no differant than if i had an opened cut out.

Once i get my car back i'll post some video of a stock internals bolt-on only car with headers, true duals, stall.

 

I did the same thing the other day. While I'm waiting for the cash to get the gmmg (and headers/ory) I wanted to change out the D/D muffler so at least it is a little louder than the D/D. So I cut the pipe at the same place you did, and ran it that way for a day just to see how I liked a really loud exhaust. With cats the exhaust sound is not that bad, but does sound a little unrefined and crappy. Now I have a Magnaflow muffler and it does sound very good. Even though the Magnaflow sounds good, I'm still going to get headers, ory and GMMG in the future.

 

well theres only hangers on the ypipe and for the muffler, of course if you got rid of the muffler the pipes are gonna be hitting against things causing that sound.

 

I cut my pipe after the hanger mount it wasnt banging anything. it was still mounted secure.

 

Its amazing how quiet the SLP D/D is. I had it on my car when I got it and it sounded nice from the back but if you werent behind the car you couldnt even tell that I was coming, and we cant have people not knowing we are coming.

No, I suppose not. Though on a stock engine if you are not hitting the gas at all and the drivetrain is disengaged (ie you are idling while moving at speed) people may not be able to hear you no matter what exhaust you have. (unless it's open headers )

Whenever I go anywhere or pick anyone up, etc, they almost always know I am coming. Even from inside most of the time

 

Yea, people can deffinatly hear me coming now . The headers and 3" duals are quite loud.

 

I get comments all the time from older hot rod guys that like the sound of my car. Hooker, ORY and corsa.
