[Mike]

i doubt the tips will help....
installing a non gutted cat should help.

if you were a m6 car you could do what i do....idle around my neighborhood in 4th.

[deadtrend1]

yea, a funtional cat will quiet the car down more then the muffler will most likely.

[foff667]

or you could try a bullet in place of the cat

[JerzLT1]

non gutted cat = less flow = less HP.... i dont get it :scratch: why cant it be as loud where your moving?

[Tru2Chevy]

Yea, I say get a bullet muffler for $30 from jegs and just weld the cat sheilds on it.

im movin to a gated community with a like a golf course and stuff and my parents dont want people complain.... go figure

[Ian]

**** 'em :lol:

[JerzLT1]

so they care more about other people then your car bein faster...... thats not bein very supportive of your hobby ya know :lol:

[Tru2Chevy]

Well, the bullet muffler in place of the gutted cat is still a good idea, but if your car is legal, then I say forget about it. Neighbors have no right to complain as long as it's legal and you aren't being a dick within the community.

what about a hi flow cat, wont that still get the flow and horse power you want yet still still quite the exhaust a bit??

[NJSPEEDER]

hi flow cats are a total myth. teh difference in flow from a standard cat to any of teh popular high priced "high flow" models in usually only about 5%.
i would agree with the bullet muffler idea tru2chevy presented. it will lower teh volume and note of your exhaust and not sacrifice flow.

ehh i didnt know, im more a fan of 2 factory cat flangs with a 3 inch pipe in ther middle.=]

Well I'm going to disagree with everyone! I don't think adding a cat. is going to quite down a flowmaster. I think replacing the flowmaster with something like a hooker areochamber or simular is the only way.

I have a 4" Mufflex with a spintec. I've run it with shortie headers with a cat, gutted cat, and now with longtubes with duel highflow cats. The change in sound is minimal.

A loud exhaust/muffler is going to stay loud, a cat isn't going to make a big enough change.

Why the hell would you spend $170 on a cat? Catco 3" on Ebay for $45.00 (5 year / 50k mile warranty too).

I had my cat on my doorstep in 3 days....and there is no reason to be worried. The places that sell the new cats are mostly resellers....not private people.

Besides magnaflow, IMCo and flowmaster exhausts we( exhaust guys) also sell converters. Both catco and magnaflow in universal and direct fit. A uni for the guy's heres at NJFOB runs about $50 . Email streetofdreams2004@yahoo.com. Plus we are right in Bergan county so no ebay hassles or trying to figure out if it will fit.

[BlueFBird]

[BlueFBird]

Not to be mean, but we told you to go with a bullet muffler or a different cat-back.

:shock: stock?

[BlueFBird]

ya i know but i had a time frame and a over conserned dad. he wanted something done like now. where can i get a bullet muffler from and whats it sound like

[Savage_Messiah]

Lots of people I have heard of using a borla... i think xr1? muffler and having it welded into the I-pipe

[Tru2Chevy]

Bullet muffler may be found at a local speed shop, but order it up form Jeg's and you'll have it in a few days. Just drop it in place of (or after) the cat, and all will be well.

so right now i have on the stock exhaust, if i get a bullet muffler i just put it after the cat. in place of the stock muffler? and does anyone know of a sound clip?

thanks for the help
justin

[Tru2Chevy]

No, put your other cat back on there, and just stick the bullet muffler right after the cat...takes out some rasp, takes out some loudness.

[BlueFBird]

[BlueFBird]
