=D> ..very nice.. =D>

Don't-cha hate that big 'CLUNK' we sometimes get going into first gear.. :D

The sound is a little less raspy once you put a tip on...love that idle sound.. :smt023 ...even the ride by sounded good.

I've had 3 of 4 different tips on and found they all sound a little different from each other.

Thanks for the clip.

Wow.

It's off.

It sounds amazing. Now if that tip will only come in...I can put the shield and the tip on eventually...

Thanks for the vid! It's great!

The company I ordered a tip from seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet. http://www.californiamuffler.com. I think I'll go the kragen route..

If anyone comes up with a cool exhaust tip please pass it on.

I've got a galvanized 45 degree tip that's screaming to be chromed or replaced.
The local AutoZones pickings are pretty slim.

Exhaust

Post by BigRockR »

I removed my can about a monthe ago...Gained some power on the top end...Then I got my hands on a Ztechnik full Titanium system....unbelievable sound, power, and punch. Gained 26% touque and 15% hp....more punch in the low and mid range. As far as a pipe though coming off the CAT...I went to a muffler shop, had them cut and bend to my spec, then had them cut a slash on the tip....Too Cool...then have them swedge it enough to slip on the pipe...drill a thru-hole and run a stainless bolt through....stays on and looks good....

Wow, 26% more torque and 15% more hp from a simple muffler change? I'd love to see the before and after dyno chart, could you please post it? TIA
