My friend with the cam is lasy as hell. I need to get him off his *** to get this thing taped. I would drive to his house, but it's too far. I would not make it over there.

I already have to turn my car off when I pass PD and Sheriff several times now.

Saturday I took it to get gas ust down the highway off my house. I pull back out and I'm stopped at a light, front row. Across the street, caddy corner is a Sheriff. That's no good. *turn car off* *turn car back on to ACC* *turn on blinker to go "left"*

Lady in old Toyota van freaks out and flips me off and lays on the horn as I wait untill the cop gets far away.

She tries to pass me, so I just speed up...to 6K when she's next to me. Dumb bitch.

Well ****, my muffler never came in. I am very disappointed in the retail company who sold me the muffler. I am getting my brake pads switched at Midas right now (didn't have the tools, lol). I am also having them install the quietest muffler they can for a temporary muffler.

I forgot to mention that it's loud as **** to the guy and he said it gave him a real surprise when it turned on and went into warm up mode.

Fear it.

Wouldn't be a problem if a bought a trailer. For the most part, I give this exhaust setup the thumbs DOWN in practicality. Don't do it.

Midas couldn't get any mufflers on. I tried a shitty NAPA muffler and it completely sucked. It actualy increased the pitch. Then, Friday, my muffler I ordered weeks and weeks ago came in. Several ours before I needed to leave to Spokane, WA 230 miles away. Talk about luck.

The new muffler is holding up real well, it's a stainless straight through. Still pretty loud, but not too bad when I'm just driving around town at lower RPM. I installed the muffler just right after the y-pipe.

Sorry I wasn't able to get a sound clip, my friend with the cam just didn't have time. I would like to get this exhaust taped with this muffler.

lmfao, thats awesome.
if you put 2 presilencers (inline mufflers) around where the main cat used to be that would probably help a lot
But thats awesome what you did loud and pissed like a swarm of killer 13bees

im not much on exhaust physics....but aside from noise, what would be the downside of not collecting the headers...and making it just dual pipes out of the header?
