GOOD MOVE... Headers with muffler delete sounds terrible and it isnt the "volume", its the tone. It just isnt a refined sound, it makes a refined car sound like crap.

Sounds like you need the muffs on there

metallicide · 12-01-2010, 10:56 AM

The way the auto shift makes it sound even worse on my car......just nasty....cant wait for my mufflers

Scott@Bjorn3D · 12-01-2010, 11:28 AM

You do have an X-Pipe right? If you do not it will be horrible and you are losing low end torque.

CamaroCowboy · 12-01-2010, 11:34 AM

No mufflers, no X pipe, yes resonators are still in until friday. I have a full Kooks Cat back being delivered on Friday.

What will be horrible about it? From speaking with Ted from Jannety, he says there are no performance gains to be had with an X-pipe since the H-pipe is optomized for this engine.
