Go TDs or y-pipe and cat-back? OK, I just can't make up my mind. I have done all the searching that I can and a lot of reading.
I have a true dual setup and I would love to put it on. Car is internally stock...Still working on the bolt-ons. Stock ride height.
The system will be coated pacesetters, no cats, and 12" bullets with dumps.
I can deal with taking the exhaust off to drop the tranny pan. I also have the stock torque arm, but I see no problem with running it and the TDs together, and I don't have plans to replace it anytime in the near future.
Problem is, I have to drive over speed bumps. My apartment complex next year has 3 to get in and out. Other than those, I'm not really worried about scraping anywhere else.
The noise is the other problem. It's kind of a double edge sword. My Hooker cat-back right now is far far too quiet. I'm sure I'll love the sound, but I live in a college town around a lot of apartments, and I don't really want my car vandalized for being louder than **** at 6 AM when I start it to drive to the gym. Like I said, car is stock internals, so I can't see idle and under 1500 or so being too terribly loud.
What I basically want some insight on are two things. Am I going to rip the whole damn thing off on medium sized speed bumps, and will idle be loud enough to have a lot of neighbors throwing fits?
