SWEET DANCING JESUS!! GOOD LORD MY EXHAUST IS LOUD!!

[Devilboy28]

Ok. I went ahead and took my car to the exhaust shop I always use to have the cat cut off. When I was able to handle the cat after it cooled down, I noticed that the guts were spilling out. The mechanic said I had good timing because the cat was about shot anyway. So, he cuts the cat at the I pipe, welds a 8 or 9 inch piece of 3" pipe pointing down and to the right so my exhaust exits under the passenger seat, but shoots out from the car. He welded my O2 sensor to a jam nut and welded the nut to the new pipe. NO codes showing yet. It feels like I have lost a very small amount of low end power, but my midrange is a WHOLE lot better! It is so loud that I actually jumped in my seat the first time I nailed it :D (windows down, t-tops off) I have a new Catco laying around the house I plan to put on if I don't like the sound, but so far, so good! Best $50 I've spent so far! [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

O.K. So you want it VERY LOUD? Get a grip on it, I have kids and old folks liveing next to me, plus two cops down the street. How load do you want it? get normal dude. Thanks

Wait so your telling me you just ran a pipe to the side from the y-pipe, no muffler or anything? Yea it's loud, but IMO it sounds like crap man, I have a muffler on the end of my Y right now and it sounds really good and decent. Im worried about getting pulled over and being found without a cat. I don't know how you could drive your car around like that, you'd get pulled over eventually for sure.

I drove all over the plave today. I even stopped by and showed TriFlo99. SEVERAL cops drove by me without even looking at me. Cops around here are really cool about stuff like that. As for the sound, I am dissappointed. It sounded better with no muffler but with the cat. I'm going back tomorrow and explore my options. I might leave the cat off and put a 40 series on. my exhaust guy said we could try different things until I found something I liked.

damn dude you must like it loud, i spose whatever you like, [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

[Tri-Flo 99]

that thing is DAMN loud--- like straight pipe harley loud, doesnt sound refined at all, i only heard it below 2 or 2500 so i dont know what the full range sounds like---ill just keep my b*b triflo for now, and wait till i can stick 2 more cylinders behind it and then open that biatch up....to each his own---too bad your running thru stock manifolds tom

[Devilboy28]

Why are you selling your car???I hope I didn't get you in trouble. That guy seemed like a dick.

[jhkcam]

yeah the cops are definately cool about that stuff around here. They must be to put up with my car. :D
I'm actually surprised i haven't had any problems at all with cops bugging me about the exhaust.

well the cops might be cool with it but the people that will be inspecting your car probably won't be.

[Devilboy28]

[img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] inspections [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] what are those? :D Don't have those here man. I think they have them in Louisville, about 75 miles north of here.

Maybe im the only one who caught this.. He welded on your O2 SENSOR??? You do realize that now you will not be able to removed it unless its cut off. I also hope that sparking the weld directly on the sensor didnt damage anything. You will be one of the next people to invest in an O2 Simm im sure....

I've had that done to a couple of cars with this guy. Never had a problem. I'm going back Monday to get a 40 series put on. It's just waaay too loud.
