Straight pipes... How do they sound?

[hdawg06]

How would straight pipes sound on a 89 LX? Custom done. I was either thinking either doing that, or getting a cheap catback. If not, what is a good sounding catback for 1 5/8" BBK Longtubes and a BBK O/R H-pipe.

If you mean straightpipes as in no mufflers... when my mufflers were off the car sounded like some WWII aircraft, absolutely obnoxious.

LOUD

loud and poopy. its fun for about 3 mins. then you realize it sounds like chit and your annoying nearly everone. It sounds like your a hick with a broken down ride. Not a badass stang like you want it to sound.

 

[hdawg06]

Gah, I was thinking it may sound like that, but wasn't sure...

That's not saying much

 

[89tang]

It sounds like crap.........

borla will make a moped sound like an f15... so t/a would sound decent, my buddys 95 stang sounds better then that !..... LOL better?

 

[stykthyn]

borlas are crazy quiet, they dont sound much better than stock. I prefer magnaflow myself.

 

[90]

well i guess what i should of said is, my neighbors T/A Sounds Sick with borla, and my buddys 95 sounds better with the str8 pipe.

my other buddy has an 03 gt and its real quite with borla...

It'll sound like 2 obese people having sex!

Picture Godzilla eating a huge meal from Taco Bell and then getting the "machine gunner fart"....


Yeah, like that

I imagine that would sound like when you drop a piece of lunchmeat on the floor. I think the mustang would sound slightly better than that.

My 85 and straight pipes when i got it, no cats no fufflers, it sounded like ASS FLAVORED ASS WITH A DOUBLE DOSE OF ASS MIXED IN WITH ASS SPRINKLES ON TOP.... It made me sad, i had to drive it around like that for a few months "long story i was 18" and i was ashamed of it so much, it made everyother thing stick out so much, I Put a stock exhaust from a 93 gt, headers back on and just that sounded better.....but then again my nagging wife sounds better than the pipes...
