Best $75.00 I ever spent
Went to the local budget muffler shop on Saturday to have the mufflers eliminated. They did a great job, and only cost me $75 bucks!! :thumbs: I also had them extend the original exhaust tips about 1 inch beyond the bumper to reduce resonance. Now the car sounds like a Vette should. If you live in the Kansas City area, it is A-1 Budget muffler on 87th street. Gotta go get in and drive!!!!! :hurray:

Sounds like a deal, but how loud is it? I'm looking for "just a little" louder, would like to still be able to hold a conversation at 70 mph or so. :D

A great idea. I first installed MA's muff eliminators on my '86, but they kept coming loose and I didn't like the looks of all the clamps, etc. with the kit. So I went to a mom and pop muffler shop and had regular pipes bent and welded. Looked great and sounded great.
THEN, I replaced the factory cat with Corvette Central's H/O cat, and what a great sound. And it passed emmissions!

Re: Best $75.00 I ever spent (KY Vette)
It's loud enough that my wife can hear me leaving the house when she is in the shower! I'm almost afraid I'm going to get a ticket. I know the neighbors just LOVE me now. :blueangel:
