i was just wondering how well the handsfree bluetooth calls work when you have exhuast? can you hear who your talking to and can they hear you ?

Really? I think that if this is a concern for you you should probably just stick with the stock exhaust. It is all going to depend on what exhaust you get. If you get an aggressive kit like Borla stype or the SLP loudmouth 1 it may be an issue. Also stay away from headers and keep your cats because that is only going to make it worse.

get exhaust diverters or cutouts and you will be fine

aggressive "on demand"

Mine doesn't work worth a crap on the stock exhaust.

Problem is when you get a good sounding exhaust, you don't want to talk on the phone or listen to the radio.

no its not a concern at all , and i have no plans of getting headers or getting rid of my cats it was just a thought i had today when i was using the handsfree i was wondering if guys with exhuast could even use that anymore, not something that would sway my decision jw

I have the 3" magnaflow 16483 catback exhaust and I have used my bluetooth on several occasions while driving. No one has ever commented they could not hear me and I've asked. I have no trouble hearing the person on the line either.

Dangeruss · 01-26-2010, 10:48 PM

I have a Borla Stinger cat-back and use mine all the time. No one has ever said a word about not hearing me, and I can hear them fine.

I did the muffler delete and still use my blue tooth all the time with no problems.

lol will the added thrust of a supercharger keep me from putting french fries in my mouth while accelerating??

Not sure, but I definitely wouldn't drink hot coffee!

I have ARH LT headers w/cats, tune, Roto-Fab CAI and stock mufflers and my car is very quiet when cruising. No problem with bluetooth. If I step on the gas, though, different story. She gets angry.

No problem for me as long as I keep the windows shut.

I think the problem is really the noise of the wind blowing on the mic that messes with it.
I have a MBRP catback and the sound rocks!

ffrcobra_65 · 01-27-2010, 01:09 PM

just don't put your ear too close to the exhaust ports and you will hear just fine .

Seriously, it is not a problem at all granted you have the windows up and not traveling at 100mph+.
