straight pipes April 16, 2009, 02:20:17 AM my Bird currently has the cats gutted and the ler replaced with a piece of sraight pipe.i'm wanting to redo the exhaust, and am considering 2.25" or 2.5" dual straight pipes with an h-pipe (or maybe an x-pipe) and was wondering if it would be obnoxiously loud? if it were just me that rides in it i wouldn't care, BUT, i have a 7 week old son to worry about.

straight pipes Reply #2 – April 16, 2009, 11:38:06 AM Straight pipes will be stupid loud with a true dual exhaust, headers, and a H or X pipe. Hell my set up (Headers, 2.5" dual exhaust, H-pipe, and Flow Tech Afterburner lers) is stupid loud on the street. It sets off car alarms :hick: Quote Selected

straight pipes Reply #4 – April 16, 2009, 11:53:34 AM I've got straight pipes on mine...or I guess I should say "a straight pipe",But I haven't removed all the cats. It sounds pretty good and it gives it a kind of subliminal growl, especially for a V-6. Quote Selected
