SO TOMMORROW IM GOING TO GET A MUFFLER DELETE AND BORLA TIPS ON MY 97 SS. I HEARD SOME SOUND CLIPS AND IT SOUNDED REALLY NICE. HAS ANYONE DONE IT ??? HAS ANYONE HEARD IT IN PERSON ???? PLZ HELP

 

On my old 96 Z28 I put on a muffler delete pipe and resonated tips (pic below). It was plenty loud (in a good way) when I wanted it to be, but not bad at all cruising down the highway. Yours is going to be louder than mine was.

 

Do you think it will sound nice i dont want no raspy ****

 

"nice" is in the ear of the beholder.....kind of like beauty.

It might be an OK stop gap until you can spring for a good catback system.

 

With no muffler, you're going to have some raspy ****. I had a little on mine with the resonators, and there was a noticeable difference in sound with and without them. Yeah, it will sound "nice", nice & loud too. Spring for a good catback system? What kind of gains are expected from that section of pipe between the cat and muffler delete? Aftermarket pipes may have better smoother bends than the factory one, but that would be the only minor difference. If your pipes are rotted away that's one thing, otherwise not worth the hundreds of bucks if your existing system is solid.

 

My takeaway from the thread was as an alternative to spending big $$$ for a cat back thus why I said it might be a good stop gap.

 

Oh I agree, it is a great alternative. I spent maybe $250 on my exhaust, and with the way it sounded and performed, I'd put it up against any of those high dollar name brand ones. What gets me is how quickly people say (not referring to you) things like ooh...ooh...you gotta get a Borla system, etc. If you end up running that setup with no restrictors, you just spent about $800 for straight pipes, albeit stainless steel...but still.

 

thanks guys think im going to go catback system now what kind will be on the same level as borla or slp just about half the price looking around 250 i was thinking flowmaster 80s series????
