I did it even though y'all told me not too...

Mr Exquiisiite · May 2nd, 2011, 01:53 PM

Today I decided to grow some b@lls and finally do SOMETHING to my car. The motivation came over the weekend when a v6 was revving up at me at a stoplight and I realized how quite my car was. I got a saw and started sawing away. After about 15 minutes. I had the mufflers removed. Picked up some 2 1/2 inch pipe and put 2 20 degree bends in the shape of an S and got my buddy to weld it for me. My official first upgrade to the car is straight pipes.

Now I had a lot of people telling me that it would be too loud and it wouldn't sound good ect. ect. I wasn't able to afford an exhaust system, but I wanted something that sounded better than stockers. I am VERY pleased with the sound now. It's not too overbearing, but now it has a nice manly sound. I don't feel like I'm driving my wifes car around all the time. I can even notice a slight more power in the 2,700-4,000 RMP range. Not much of a power difference but I LOVE the new sound.

So to anyone who is thinking about making this modification to your car as a first I would strongly recommend it regardless of what you hear. Worse case scenario? You don't like it and you end up having to buy some real pipes.

video of sound??

Mr Exquiisiite · May 2nd, 2011, 09:05 PM

It will be posted tomorrow. The only camera I have is the one on my Motorola Droid so the sound quality might not be that great. I'm not saying its going to be horrible but just in case it is.

firechicken93 · May 3rd, 2011, 02:42 PM

NatesGT · May 3rd, 2011, 07:44 PM

After a certain point my phone just crapped out. The popping is not from the exhaust it's because of the crappy quality of my phones speakers.

VinceS2K · May 3rd, 2011, 10:17 PM

sounds just as shitty as i thought it would.

:flamesuitactivate:

XXGREGXX · May 3rd, 2011, 10:28 PM

Sounds mean, I think it'll hold over until a real exhaust can be put on.

Mr Exquiisiite · May 4th, 2011, 11:40 PM

Yeah, it'll be aight until I can afford those BBK o/r x pipes. It doesn't sound exactly like the video. The popping was from the phone. It cant handle loud noise. Did the same thing when recording the new years fireworks.

97S281 · May 5th, 2011, 07:39 PM

That sounds pretty decent. Definayely better than the stock sound.

NO_PI_NO_POWER · May 5th, 2011, 07:49 PM

Yeah, definitely more lively than stock. The first thing i did to my car was remove the cat back.

98REDGT · May 5th, 2011, 08:32 PM

What really matters here. Is if you are happy with it. I think it sounds ok. For pretty much being free.you might try some custom shops. The may make an x pipe cheaper. Never know??

dmcand3 · May 5th, 2011, 10:29 PM

Sounds shitty but still pretty badass! Good job man.

Mr Exquiisiite · May 9th, 2011, 03:28 PM

I appreciate the feed back guys. Epically those who understand that this was made on a limited budget and was only done to give the car some kind of life. Thanks no_pi and 98RedGT.

john98 · May 9th, 2011, 07:46 PM

Definitely sounds a lot better in person, a few people around here did the same thing, I would look at getting some mufflers on there before you get an O/R pipe of any kind, the lack of back pressure and muffling will kill your power and sound like all hell

rustystang · May 14th, 2011, 11:47 AM

sounds like an slp loudmouth catback lol
