only ___ more to go until I am fully satisfied!
I have been experimenting ever since I bought the car, trying to find the loudest but best sounding exhaust combo. Its been a long expensive journey, and I am not through yet. Here is the breakdown of what I have had so far:
Mufflers/Mid pipe/Headers
MAC/stock/stock=
-much deeper than stock, decent drone inside cruising at certain speeds
MAC/catted Bassani X/stock=
-pretty much the same as it was, just louder, and a little tinny at a certain RPM
MAC/catless Bassani X/stock=
-holy crap, this sounded insane!! Like a rabid werewolf, BUT under acceleration, waaay to tinny......dammit
MAC/Pypes offroad H/stock=
-didn't sound bad by any means, but nowhere near as loud, much less tinny sound
MAC/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTS=
-not near as loud as I was hoping, this combo with stock headers was much louder. A little tinny in the higher rpms
Bassani/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTS=
-sounds like a totally different car. Not as loud as I would like, NO tinny sound, pretty deep.
SLP Loudmouths/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTs=
-LOUD LOUD LOUD. Deep growl down low, major trumpets above 3000 rpms, psychotically loud at half throttle, severe drone at certain rpms/speeds. See post #47.
Hooker tips/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTs=
-Deeper than the SLPs, not as loud, and smaller trumpets. Sounds tinny when the pedal is buried. SLPs will probably be going back on.
SLP Loudmouths/MAC Prochamber/Hooker LTs=
-Its nice. Much deeper than the X pipe, much much quieter too. Very little cabin drone, minimal amount of trumpets that only occur over 3500 rpms.
Pypes Violators/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTs=
-Surprisingly deep when idling, pretty loud when WOT. Somewhat of the tinny/rattling sound in the upper rpms, but not near as bad as what I have heard before.
At this point, I will probably be sticking with the Violators. Excellent balance between the deep grumble that says "I might have 500 horses....", and the loudness that says "You're not coming?"
