Whats going on everyone, I have a little money saved up for my L when I get it, any opinon about straight pipes?....they sound just awful on Chevys, (very dirty sound), but what do they sound like on Lightnings?....any power loss because of no back pressure, or not?

 

I think they sound just like the S.B. system.

 

I had the opportunity to listen to cyntaxx's straight pipe setup on Tuesday. Just in his parking stall however, not on the road (less than desireable conditions)

At idle they sound AWESOME. Blipping the throttle was also enjoyable to the ears.

Hopefully he'll capture (and share) audio of a WOT flyby.

 

it's been disscussed at great length before

 

yea, i run no cats and dumps (through cutout) and it sounds nasty (like bad) at idle. but at higher rpm DAMN!!!! sounds awesome!!

 

Speeding Bob hooked me up with a 2.5" stainless steel aftercat system....no muffler just pipes. Sounds great at idle and pretty nice on the street. there is a slight drone though, which gets worse if you have your windows open. However i dont mind and rather listen to my exhaust than the crappy stereo anyway.

at WOT it's an aural orgasm!!

I'll try to get clips as soon as the weather starts to comply. you better have tissues or a towel ready though

 

Ive none it and it sounds awesome.I cannot see paying big bucks for an exhaust system when this sounds mean and is so cheap

 

ditto. however i'll get the bassani and longtubes












after i am in the 11s with a built motor, a works or KB, reworked suspension, and a monster box.

 

and not to mention the 13.603@101 after the straights install from the 13.89@99 in my 99 Lightning

 

Had straight pipes put on today and WOW, it sounds great. Not at all what i expected. I highly recomend(sp) it.

 

straight pipes sound great but at hiway speeds it get annoying for long periods of time.
