What say you C5?

Al C. · 05-12-2013, 03:19 PM

Yes.. Pulling the liner is not as bad as you think.. Just a reminder, when u pull the fuse and decide to leave it off, the outer exhaust tips will turn black from the exhaust and the inner ones will stay relatively clean..

Absolutely! It takes all of 5 mins to do and doesn't really require the trunk to be "torn apart".

What's the point of the fuse pull for exhaust?

To leave the flaps open all the time(louder) on dual mode exhaust.

and yes it's worth it. Did it this morning, and took about 5-10 minutes

my question is, what if dont like the loud sound during start up and wish the car was much quieter? is there any modification to make the exhaust system quieter? help please

Fuse in or out the valve is always open at start up. The valve closes when only when driving.

Honestly, maybe I drive like an a$$hole or something, but I haven't been overly impressed with the fuse pull, like what's the point. Headers will be here this week, then to powder coaters, and on sometime shortly after, I'll probably put the fuse back at that point if not before. We'll see. I love the sound of the factory exhaust, but I want a little louder. As hard as it may be to really capture exhaust sound on a camera and then post it here, the ones I've heard that had headers, high flow cats, and factory cat back with the fuse still in sounded pretty good to me.

That being stated, it's not that big a deal to get to it, and after driving today and paying more attention, definitely more pop

With the headers you will probably want to put the fuse back in for highway cruising. If you do not the drone is very loud with headers on highway cruising. I would probably do the Mild to Wild controller if you get headers so you can still be loud around town but enjoy a highway trip.

Pulled the fuse this morning. Much easier than I thought. I like it except the exhaust pops on almost every shift now.....may put it back in.

DuskSS · 05-13-2013, 03:21 PM

the pops are the best part.. actually miss that sound now. with the cam and heads and headers I dont get that sound any more.

I leave mine open 99% of the time with the M2W but it is nice when trying to creep into the garage at the GFs townhome and in my neighborhood late at night.

Screw that, I love waking neighbors with either my car or my bike. I've had loud vehicles for a long time. My dad, years ago, would tell me that my dog would hear my truck from a half mile away and go sit and wait for me at the door every single night when I got off work. Which I knew she was there when I walked in, but I didn't know the ritual of her perking her ears when I crested the hill and then as soon as I crossed the street, 1/4 mile out, she ran to the door and sat and waited.
