any idea how much louder it might be?

That sounds fairly loud inside the cabin as it is. Were my ears deceiving me or did she say, "I want a pecker." hahaha

A good cat back isnt going to weigh you down. Up the HP slightly. Def. up the sound.

Back pressure is almost irrelevant. Get a GOOD cat back, and a y pipe... and a GOOD set of LT headers..... your weight statement goes right out the window.

GOOD header + TD or y pipe + cat back = way better than cut out.

there is extra weight the stock catback was 42 pounds. And why pay to restrict the flow more, to reduce HP numbers, and add the weight to your car IF you can stand how loud it is. Sorry boomer no sounds clips, but man will you fall in love with that pure american rumble, its loud as hell, and a hell of alot louder with headers. Just cut it off right before the rear axle so you still have the sound going out the back.

not a good sound very annoying

many people have bullet mufflers that probably don't do much, and thats with larger piping. i'd take it off and try it. i doubt it would cost that much. then if you don't like it, get a better, smaller muffler.

**Fury_786** · 07-30-2008, 07:06 PM

i run a pair of bullets....they make it bearable to drive

i can have a convo, or talk on a cell with no problems

but when you're on it, its LOUD

i appreciate all the replies/answers/help. ive been thinkin, and i still want my daughter to be able to ride in my car w/me and without losing her hearing. i think im gonna go w/an electric cutout. that way when i want it loud, i'll have it loud. and when she is w/me i will close it.

i have lm1 and unless you have a heavy foot, its not very loud. you'll hear it but in no way is it deafening (with stock manifolds, cats, and the m6). and i have the loudest catback so i wouldn't worry about that.

**Boomer Sooner** · 08-08-2008, 07:22 PM

well, for the time being, problem solved. i had my super 40 cut off right behind the rear axle. loud and mean sounding. i like it. fyi, no cats/no muffler.

**Speedy_Gonzales** · 08-08-2008, 07:32 PM

Get a cut-out...........cheap and much louder than stock

**xzaero0** · 08-08-2008, 09:09 PM

Here is Rhinoman's 06 GTO with out mufflers or Cats. I know its a GTO but still with out them they should be close to the same. Crazy Loud!

thanks.

I ran my car without a muffer, cut right after the axle for about 1 week before I put my borla on and I honestly thing it sounded nice. headers and y-pipe were stock and it had a nice deep tone to it and was loud and menacing at WOT. If this is peoples idea of "loud" then I don't think I wanna listen to "loudness" comments of people anymore. I don't think this exhaust was in any way or form loud. It paled in comparison to my friend's 06 mustang with SLP x-pipe and loudmouth, who was stopped only once by cops in the past year.
