I want it loud

[rbharris1984]

Well I wanna do something with my exhaust. Not a borla catback or anything else. I want it to be loud, I like loud and I live in FL so now emmisions or inspection. I was thinking of cutting out the cat and just put in a straight pipe and lose the resinator, but i'm pretty sure i'll lose torque. yeah top end might be better but i'd rather have the torque. So whats a good idea to make it as loud as a straight pipe with aftermarket muffler but also keep or increase the torque?

Straight pipe the whole exhuast with 2.5" pipe.

That or.....get a magnaflow with nice tailpipes......mine sound nice, and quite cheap I thought. $294.......just another alternitive to look at.

THis is what I had. no cat. 3" high flow rez and no muffler. Sounded sweet. Just too loud at high idle and on the highway, but in town you'd think it had a 350 under the hood from the sound. Still had lots of power at all rpm ranges.

Then I added a second 3" rez. It didnt help for on the highway at all. I then added a flowmaster 40 to that. Sounds sweet and tons of power for a 3.4

I just got my exhaust done. Only from rear axle back for now, but I did 2 1\4" pipe with a Y and dual tips no muffler. Sounds good. There's pics and a video here (http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=78092)

Or use a SRT-4 exhaust like I did,lol. Loud but still grumbles for being straight piped. Need an inline muffler/resonator to help quiet the raspy sound.

Yeah I'm gonna go with the setup you have, it sounds badass

Yea Im on the fence of changing out my Magnaflow for the Flow 80. I just want something with more growl at the lower RPM levels.

[GtAudioFreak]

Yea I'm sure you'll like the sound of the 80 series.

I have loud, hi flow cat, 2 1/4 inch pipe, custom down pipe, all custom bent, and a glasspack feeding into a turn down right before the bumper. At idle has a barely noticable sound, but get to about 1/3 throttle she'll rumble anything past that or 3,000 rpm and i wouldn't drive beside it!!! It is getting time to get it quietened down. Tired of waking the neighborhood at 6:30 in the morning.

I just had mine done, I took out the resonator and I have a flow 80 with two 3" tips. It sounds nice up to about 2000rpm but after that I don't really hear it anymore:(.
