Default New Exhaust Idea

I have an idea for a catback i have LT and ORY now with a cutout. I love the sound but it gets a little annoying inside when i have to be slow just so i can hear my GF. I have a flowmaster too but i never cap the coutout which i could but i love the sound..

So i was thinking of getting a rumbler and having the muffler deleted. So it would basically be all pipe from the engine all the way to the back. I may put a muffler in the stock location and have it set up like a borla later on.

So i was wondering if anyone else has done this and any thoughts you guys have.

a guy around here has a supercharged T/A with straight pipes. It is defiantly loud at WOT, and somewhat quiet inside the cabin at idle. Definatly better than a cutout right under your car.

You could even look at the powerstick- its a I pipe that you could use in the middle of the pipes to cut down on the raspyness.

my buddy runs an open y-pipe under the car and its loud as hell.

when i put my exhaust on (magnamouth) i started the car with just the muffler on and it was loud *** hell, when i put the tail-pipes on it quieted the car down quite a bit.

give it a try, just buy the rumbler and go but a long piece of pipe from an auto parts store. if you dont like it, just put the bullet back in

My T/A has the muffler cut off the stock catback

only sounds good at at least 3/4 throttle. WOT lets just call it Nascar.

Basically it serves its purpose to make it louder until I get true duals under the axle with 12 inch bullets.

Aww Paul is all lonely with out me LOL ive just been busy with many things work, school, and family. I can do anything on the weekends if you want to do something i still have not seen your car with my old rims on it. i was thinking about going to the track once the school term is over probably on August 9th so mark your calender.

I want to go out the back with all pipe nothing else and see how it is then make it like a borla if i want to later on. So if you get a loudmouth or a rumbler catback at the shop let me know.

Maybe ill come by on a Friday and see whats new there did Chris ever finish the 67?
