Default My new pipes!

Just had these installed and they sound absolutely great!

Took out the 3 converters and two mufflers and installed one Highflow converter on each side of the dual exhaust and have one small muffler in the end before each stainless square tip.

More pics tomorrow!

HuuuHHHH.......what did you say??? I can't read you over the loud droning!!!! The noise was so loud I'm hard of seeing now!

But seriously.... yes it's louder inside and drones. But if I wanted it quiet I'd of left it alone. It's not bad for me cause I can always turn up the stereo. I'm used to decades of being a Tank Commander so my hearing isn't very SENSITIVE.....LOL!

I've heard that an X-pipe will get rid of the drone, but keep the tone you like.
Tips look sooo nice. Any pics of the exhaust under the rear?

I have an x-pipe and a bypass to not go through the mufflers. With the bypass open its loud but very little to no drone.

Looks good and I still prefer that style of tip to most of the others.

what did you say

seriously I feel your pain. After spending years in combat Arms myself, my hearing is not what it once was. I can still hear that squelch coming through the CVC at times.

Vette looks good. I am going through the exhaust thing myself and trying to decide what I want to do.

What kind of mufflers did you put on?
