How loud and flow

im in the end of a build and running out of money doing the exhaust and wondering how loud a straight pipe single exhaust with no cats to a rev 30 muffler would be. also how well will it flow. the pipe is going to be 3.5 inch in OD. ill go to a dual when i get the money

Why don't you just save until you have the money for a decent exhaust?

i have a 2.5 single and 1 muffler n/a, it is LOUD, VERY LOUD

the turbo will help the noise a little, but only one muffler and no resinator it will be loud

It'll be too loud. You're gonna spend the money only to have to take it of and put on a smaller muffler.

What's your setup? Why do you need 3.5in piping?

I ran 3 in straight through on my FD and it was loud as *****. I just put back on a cat so it would quiet down.

I've got a 3.5 inch right now and it's not all that bad while out of boost. It was idleing next to a cammed camaro and his car was louder than mine. Buuut, once you get into boost it's a WHOLE other story.
