High flow cat or cut off back two?
What should I do? I want a little more noise. What will sound better? Is there any advantages to one over the other? I would imagine the high flows would be louder than removing two correct? Either way I would still not throw a code, or would I?

Spend the money on a full exhaust, don't go broke dick bro. A full exhaust is well worth the money

Call me broke dick, but I went the route of an x-pipe and removed the resonators and 80lbs of muffler cans and mine is loud and very aggressive sounding at WOT. Idle and regular cruising is zero drone and very driveable.. Only downside is the decel pop.. But that is an acquired taste.. I can provide you a couple of vids of before and after for some sound comparison..

Most muffler shops will do this for AROUND +- 200 bucks... |
I have the borla atak catback and don't want to hack into that. I would consider headers but like the idea of these bolt on HF for warranty reasons and no need for a tune with these unlike the headers. Cheap dick lol everyone is getting all huffy. Call me what you want. How much extra money did you have when you were 16?

Haha, difference between being smart and being cheap. Muffler delete cost my 70. And is the same as a loud mouth exhaust,.that's just smart., x pipe it and now you have a cat back for a third the cost, again, smart. Throw on hf cats and booya, you just added about 15hp to the rear, and are now the loudest guy around , making more HP than the guys who paid double for a cat back, which adds 0 HP BTW. Is go that cat route, I know, because I already did everything I just wrote about...smart.

Had a guy at a car wash (Same car) show up and give me crap about not spending 2k on an exhaust. Was standing at the exit and had 2 people ask me if that was my car...and tell me how good it sounded. The guy with the 2k exhaust (mad cuz noone said anything to him) looked under my car and promptly told me that my exhaust looks like crap. Told him to keep laying on the wet ground staring at exhaust pipes....makes him look more learned...:sm0: And i got this driving away... :clap::headbang::clap: for 200 bucks... |

So, what IS the difference between having a slip-together exhaust kit or a weld together exhaust kit, versus having a few custom pieces slipped on and/or welded? I mean, its all on the under side of your car and unless your 4" thick, I seriously doubt anyone is ever going to see it... so it cant be a "bling" factor. |

From someone that has had both a muffler delete and a complete built cat-back....I will say that for the money the muffler delete is absolutley the way to go. Do cat-backs like Borla or LG sound better. Well...that's all personal preference. Then again they are about $1k more. For me I went with the muffler delete right off the bat because I had put as much money down to buy the car as I could and I knew I still had other mods I wanted to do like stripes, shifter, springs, etc. The muffler delete was a temp fix until I had the money to do a full exhaust. I ran the muffler delete for a good 3,500 miles and it was great but would've been too loud for my taste with headers. If it weren't for me buying headers the muffler delete would still be on my car. BTW: there aren't any cat-backs that I've heard of that cost $2k. Most are around $1k - $1200. |
I think someone just likes to boast about how much they've spent on their car, regardless of the stupidity displayed in their statements. Fact is, if you can make your car sound and run just as good as the guy who paid 8K, and you only paid 300bucks, your awesome. i say the man who paid 300bucks is using his head! I've learned just let the stupid people stay stupid, there's not point in trying to push a chain...
