I have long tunes with stock exhaust as well.

scott's45 · 07-29-2015, 03:25 PM

I have long tubes, high flo cats and stainless works retro chambered 3" cat back. I suggest you start with long tubes and high flo cats first. Go from front to back.

BeastMode · 07-29-2015, 04:34 PM

Huh, interesting. Do you guys do it that way for sound reasons, power reasons, or both?

I know I have seen quite a few people going that route, but I must admit I haven't looked into it at all for myself yet.

scott's45 · 07-29-2015, 05:11 PM

Sound reasons, totally. I had no drone when i just had the cat back. Now with the LT headers and HFC's....there is some drone. Not a maddening amount, but it's definitely there.

scott's45 · 07-29-2015, 05:18 PM

Actually, i should elaborate a little more. LT headers offer the most power, and must have a tune done to avoid a CEL. High flow cats will also offer a power increase. Cat back will offer no power increase (or negligible at best), but offer a LOT of sound. When you think your almost happy with the sound after installing a cat back and decide to go with LT and HFC's............then the sound level is WAY TOO MUCH. Better to start at the front and work your way back.

BeastMode · 07-29-2015, 06:50 PM

Thanks for the info!

The more I am looking and listening, LTs with Cats seems like a great way to go, I would prob look to throw a CAI on at the same time to avoid having to retune the car again too soon.

If I wanted to make some more noise I could always upgrade to a magnaflow xpipe and/or an axle back system.

Decisions decisions...

They only get more expensive from their those pesky decisions.

Yay where you been brother havent seen you since i ran into you on lunch a year ago. Aside from the RICOA fiasco..

Evil-Bee-NH · 07-30-2015, 02:10 PM

Few days away any CT guys thinking of coming know if they're coming yet. Looking like a decent hot day right now for sunday.

SCHUSS · 07-30-2015, 02:34 PM

I already said I'm going, you haven't moved my name yet.....

chetkan · 07-30-2015, 02:58 PM

I'm hoping to make this show. As it sits now I work until 8 am that morning so I will get there as soon as I can. I understand it's not always practical to save a spot but it would be appreciated. As for the exhaust system I have long tube headers high flow cats and a Solo catback system. I have zero drone!! My system is quieter going down the road than when it was stock although people have told me it's loud. I also put in exhaust cutouts in case I want to really piss off my neighbors. You are more than welcome to hear the way it sounds.

Cody_ · 07-30-2015, 03:22 PM

I said if weather is nice ill be there so yes im in
