Default Catback Straight Pipe

I took off my mufflers off and now have 2 and a quarter inch pipes in place. All i can say is WOW!!! It sounds like an old school muscle car. Everytime i drive it, heads constantly turn. I Feel a difference in acceleration. It doesn't put you back in your seat as much but you can definitely see that it picked up on acceleration. Im going to put pictures and a video up soon when ever i can get the time

Try going catless with straight pipes. Believe it or not it gets WAY louder. lol

I believe when I had the cutout/cat it was actually quieter than it is now with no cat and the spintech. lmao

i know this is off topic but i changed my views about this car. its a good car none the less and a very good daily driver. i get alot of compliments especially when i go to autozone or a auto shop, the guys would say "my god how did they manage to cram a v8 in there or is that a v8?" The guy who did the exhaust on my car loves it. He even said its a beautiful car. As far as the heavy performance work like turbo chargers and all of that, i dont want any of that because i have to have this car for 4 more years so i will however get headers but as far as taking it to the track and everything i will not do (even though im curious as to see what it runs in the 1/4) i dont want my transmission to go or wear it down. So with that in mind i will keep this car. If im going to mod a car and race it, i will proudly get a mustang 5.0, trans am, grand national, or a monte ss and work on that

By ditching the mufflers you just saved about 35lbs of extra weight too!

Dude its a lot of women digging the straight pipes here in Atlanta as well!! This chick(outside of Smoothie King) told me: "you car sounds soooooo nice" and she was with a guy! He cut his eyes, but I remain humble, and just said thanks!
LoL!! But you da man!!!
