My exhaust doesn't have a muffler. The resonator tips quiet it down a little and the cats take down idle noise a little, but not too much since they're high flow cats. At WOT it's ridiculously loud and I love it, but I don't drive WOT all that often (thankfully). I love the sound of my exhaust, it's just right for me!

 

I like the way it sounds now. It's almost the same at low throttle....a lot of bass. But the Magnaflow had a lot of bass as well. But, when you nail the throttle it screams......I think my ideal setup is long tube headers, ORY, and a SLP Loudmouth Exhaust........But I think I will leave it the way it is for now....maybe by a Flowmaster muffler later. Idk....I like the way it sounds though. Nice and loud...hehe

Next....CAI and Throttle Body, and a Tune !!

 

throttle body at this point would be a waste of money. stick with a cai and get headers, then tune

 

Here's the new plan. Tommorow I think I'm going to order the SLP Loudmouth and adapter, then buy the CAI.....so in place of the Throttle Body...would 4:10 gears be good ? or 3:73? Do those gears make the fuel mileage go down any ?

Also...has anyone done the throttle body bypass where you move the water line so it doesn't cross with the incoming air ?

Thanks !

 

Gears will make a difference, if you're running an auto 3:73 are the recommended gear, for manual 4:10. You will see a decrease in fuel economy, especially if you do mostly highway driving.

Don't waste your time on the TB bypass, it won't get you too much HP and can cause drivability issues if you experience cold weather.

 

Thanks for the tips everyone. I think today I'm going to order the SLP Loudmouth and possibly the SLP CAI.

I don't think gears would be a good option for me since I do MOSTLY highway driving.

After I get the CAI and exhaust on, I'll try to get the car to Houston to get the dyno tune. Along with some new sparkplugs and wires.

 

yo i hollowed out the cat and it adds a nice little bit of sound, get some cut outs if u want it realloud.
