Muffler Questions??

bolt out your cat section and take it to your local muffler shop and get them to make up a straight pipe section complete with the 02 bungs and flanges, using the stock section as a template, then when you have to take your car in for the ontario drive clean test every 2 years you just bolt your stock piece back in, plug in the 02 sensors and away you go:beer:

Thanks for the idea!..

I'm just going to do the mufflers and delete tips for now, and if its not loud enough for me, I'll give your idea a try!


oh yeah, should I do anything with the X pipe?..

i left on all 4 cats deleted the resignators and put on the Aero's, and a lot of people said its plenty loud. at some RPM's usually around like 2300 its almost louder than my mustang with no cats. i love these mufflers.

Do you mean you got rid of the resonators in the tips????

i would just leave the stock H pipe, just because i dont want to hack up my exhaust, i probably wont even touch my mufflers once i get to removing my cats. Its a personal preference i guess, i think there is a thread on H pipe vs X pipe try a search
 
H-pipe unless you are going to be running 600 + hp then an X-pipe shows performance gain over the H-pipe.

H-pipe will produce a louder tone at lower rpms as where X-pipe is at higher rpms.

x pipe will show a decent gain and you dont need 600hp to use one.

I have the flowmasters super 44s, rear cats deleted,stock tips removed and my muffler guy replaced the tips with hollow, stainless straight edged tips it sounds way better than stock,no drone inside,i think that by going with the straight tips over the rolled lip gives you no cackle,imo.....i cant wait to get my headers and a jlt cai.....happy motoring.........its not to loud at all ...i wish it was a lil louder.....
 
Well, after contemplating over super 44's or aero 2525's I fianlly made my mind up and ordered a set of aero 2525's and magnaflow 4inch tips.

now time to decide on if I should delete a set of cats..
 
finally got the exhaust installed thursday.. sounds great (alot louder then I figured it would be)..

I had the mufflers, 4" magnaflow tips, and removed the second set of cats

but I somewhat feel like I'v lost some lowend torque?.. anyone else have that feeling after installing them?
