run dynomax bullets.

mine with rear cats deleted and cherrybombs sounded ok was loud enough to get you tickets if you hit it at the wrong time

mine straight piped no cats way too ****in loud to not get pulled over popped at 1200rpm but i did like the sound. the video is in a chevy malibu with the windows up. also i never went above 2800 rpm in this video

put in a di/do 40 series and it sounded good

Mike: you were running catless with straights right? Well I have my two pre-cats and I'm thinking about an x pipe with the straights, do you still think I'll be too loud??

H pipes are better for stock vehicles and x's are better built vehicles. You can look up the actual tests results as there are dozens of articles if you google it.

Too loud depends on how the police are around your area. It will more than likely be loud enough to get hassled a lot but if your out in the country you'd be fine and probably love it. Best thing to do is go straight after you have the money for mufflers/glass packs so you can put em in if it is too loud

And mike: in my daily commute I rarely get over 2000 rpm, it shouldn't be too loud in those rpms right?
