Thumbs down

I would just save and get a full system with header's.... Mid-pipe's hi-flow cat's and cat-back..... I think with no mufflers it would be way to loud at night time and you mite get pulled over for it....

Cheap and loud. Very nice unless you go to race events where they require mufflers.

Loud but very uncivilized. It sounds chug-a-lug chug-a-lug at low rpms

BUT

at full throttle, its beautiful.


The Magnaflow catback is a nice balance of the two, but straights are much much cheaper.

The drone is very annoying for the first bit, but you get used to it after a while.

moerom@hotmail.com if you have any questions

Take care!

I have cutouts before my muffler and it is loud. I think they sound pretty good. But i have to cap them because it gets too loud when you have to drive a long way. Drone is bad above 60.

I just had the muffler shop cut my stock catback off so I could install my Mac. OMG on the drive home I had to roll the windows down. Sounds pretty cool until full throttle, then it sounds redneck. I'm sure it's only that loud because it exists right under the cab.

How does it sound when its just sitting at idle? Or pulling away from say a stop sign or traffic light?

Do you have to be laying into it, to get a louder or deeper sound from it?

Thanks
