midpipe ftw...or ftl

blazor · September 7th, 2007, 11:45 PM

is there advantages/disadvantages to not having a midpipe? i want two flo 40's, but i dont know whether or not i should get a midpipe. it seems like the sixers sound a little more rumbly running straight pipes to the back. i live in California and need cats, but do i need a midpipe to pass smog? if i do need one, an H will give me a little bit more rumble over an X right? im more concerned about tone over hp cuz ill get it back from other mods.

i have a X with turn downs no cats on flowmasters...thats all the rumble i need with a ported lower intake...i havent stop getting good comments on the sound

if you dont have any kind of crossover pipes aka straight pipes, itll sound like shit. i have mac longtubes, mac o/r h-pipe and mac catback and ive gotten comments about the nice sound.

but like any other exhaust on a v6, in the higher rpms, it sounds like shit lol

EDIT: didnt notice you were from cali at first. get shortie headers, catted h-pipe, and than a good catback with flows on it

they can generally be found in vacuum cleaners or sometimes in cell phone chargers

(those were the first things i saw when i looked around my room)

but hey lets keep it somewhat serious as i have a decision to make

blazor · September 8th, 2007, 01:11 AM

that sounds pretty good sss. your running straights right?

02ponypackage · September 8th, 2007, 01:11 AM

mid pipes come usually on cars that dont have 2.3s or 4cyl at that...not like urs at least...because u have a turbo in it rite ? or its motor...idk much about the SVlOws stock of course

thats exactly right, i dont have a midpipe

so i'll ask again

what's a midpipe

02ponypackage · September 8th, 2007, 01:16 AM

its a pipe section in the middle of ur car

MSO · September 8th, 2007, 01:18 AM

so if you dont have a mid-pipe.. what's the point of having the rest of the exhaust?

02ponypackage · September 8th, 2007, 01:21 AM

mid section being a H, D, or X style...but u can also run straight pipes out back as ur mid pipe connecting the catback and manifolds

Yeah no mid pipe, loudest/best sounding v6 exhaust I've heard (not just my opinion its the truth)

WLJohnson05 · September 8th, 2007, 02:00 AM

no matter what, exhaust is pure opinion, i mean some people like the sound of the ricer mobiles man, so there is no "truth" man

u mean best u heard without a cam and or stroker

ive heard plenty of V6s that sound better then straight pipes...even without a Cam or stroker....they sound the best overall tho...but a Hpipe LT with Macs V6 sounds real good...

Onemanzu · September 8th, 2007, 02:12 AM

well the one dis advantage to not having a mid pipe is that the exhaust just kinda ... dumps out after the headers and doesn't reach the mufflers ...

02ponypackage · September 8th, 2007, 02:14 AM

i think he means straight pipes with mufflers...which really straight pipes is no mufflers but i think he means to say straight mid pipe
