Childish tendencies
Hey guys,
So once again my inner child (not that im old, im 25) are getting the best of me. My 01 SS is sporting Pacesetter Long tubes, ORY and the stock powerflo muffler into a OEM CME.
Lately im getting bored with the way my car sounds. It sounds good, i get alot of compliments from passengers but i want more lol. Its just missing something imo.
What can i do to make it louder lol. I still want it bearable since its my DD but its just not cutting it for me. I want that deep drone, i want the pops on deceleration, I want the rasp when i go wot. I know this isnt everybodys cup of tea but its definitly mine. Im not looking to spend a ton and im looking for minimal work. My problem is the CME. anything i buy must work with whats already here since im not looking to get rid of the cme. Also, id like to go without having to weld anything. Cutouts are a thought but not really what im looking for. Im mainly thinking a different muffler perhaps? any siggestions?
sorry for the long winded post, im home sick and bored.

How much are you asking? And this will go right in place of the muffler i already have? I was under the assumption the adj. catback needs work to work with a CME

I think a cutout would be perfect. Its everything you want and when you want quiet, you flip the switch. You really can't beat them. Sometimes the screws come loose or the wiring desoldered on the back of my motor. Very easy to repair once you understand how to take it apart and how it all works. You also keep your cme perfect

as much sense as ur post makes (which is alot) im very tempted by this borla. My dads vette had borla and it sounded perfect, my neighbors gt500 is borla too and it sounds wicked. If he posts up a decent price i may be on it but i have too many projects and family bills (****ing hurricane sandy) right now to afford anything big.

Well a borla is pretty much the same thing, just doesn't change with a switch. No harm in running it instead

CME?
Then all of this advice is moot.
Get a custom bullet muffler or something on there.

Why ruin a CME for sound?
Toss a cutout, or hell, put two in off each header, loud, obnoxious, and slow. Winning. I guess.

I have no plans of "ruining" my cme so I'm not sure what you mean. I'm just altering for what l believe will be a better sound. It will still look exactly the same.

I would do one of 2 things.
1. Just throw a cut out in and call it a day
2. Have an exhaust shop remove the power flow muffler and replace it with just pipes. Then add a bullet muffler somewhere in the mid pipe like a loud mouth has it.

With shorty headers or stockers, and cats sounds great.

Pretty much. Sounds like 1000 Hondas in a confined area. Raspy as hell.
OP get a cutout. The loud and droning gets really old really fast, esp if you drive on the highway.

Ugh even on an LT1 with mid lengths and ORY it was too raspy and had a constant drone throughout the car. It was fun to hear bouncing off rev limiter though

Do you remember my SS? That was just LTs, ORY, and Magnaflow catback and it was loud as hell. Could you just toss in a magnaflow muffler? I dont think it would be that hard to keep the CME tips.
Heres the only video I have. Keep in mind I did have a decent size cam and it wasn't tuned in the video yet. (Hence it not liking to idle at more than like 20 rpms, lmao)
