I'm trying to listen to some aftermarket exhausts, and online vids and mp3 files are just never the same. I'm wondering if I can hear any of the local cars to get a good idea.
Currently these are the setups I've tried.
1. I bypassed the mufflers like a few. I did that myself, didn't cost me a thing so I figured I'd try it!! I liked the sound, it was a great step up from stock.
2. I just put on a borla XR-1 stainless system last night after running straight pipes for a week. The straight pipes are just tooooo loud for around the neighbourhood and if you want to get on it in traffic...anything over 1800rpm and people are looking at you like they're calling the cops....not worth the hassles or the loss in power...so anyhow, last night I put up the Xr-1 system..I lost an over all good 60lbs by using this system matched up to my random tech cats and kooks headers (all stainless and super light). The sound is great, nice tuned sound on idle,but I haven't been able to really open it up as this morning was a traffic nightmare. I'll try tonight and see what happens...it does sound smooth though..I'm liking it, but since I've had the whole bullets and stingers idea in my head, I'm just wondering if anyone runs those and if I could hear them...
..:update:..
I got on it last night finally, and damn, I like this XR-1...sounds mean...I doubt I'll be looking for anything else right now, but I'd still love to hear all these different exhausts...It's funny that in a few posts,everyone has something different.
I have the Kooks 1 7/8" headers, Kooks intermediate pipes and x-pipe, and GHL mufflers. It sounds great but a touch to loud for me. I used to use the Z06 mufflers and they were perfect, nice sound and fairly quiet...untill WOT.
I have a Magnaflow Cat back with X-pipe. Absolutely no resonation, VERY quiet at idle. You only hear it when you step on it hard.... The fit and finish is superb!
Corsa Indys with TPIS headers....ummmm...its loud when you want it to be...would be more then happy to meet for you to hear it Frank the Tank has heard it a few times from outside the car and from driving next to me.... Kevin, what did you think of the sound? be honest
