i was thinking about putting straight pipes, no muffler or anything, just straight all the way back and i was wondering if that would be a good idea..

will it sound like ****?

would it be easy?

HP gain? loss?


anyone with expierience let mme know.

also, what is AIR? thanks for the help in advance

Yes. Save up and get a complete quality exhaust system.

you have heard what they sound like?? a buddy of mine has them on his big truck and they sound pretty damn good...

Yes I've heard them, don't do it!! Theres a difference between loud and nice.

well.. i was looking at getting 3 inch exhaust with a hooker aero chamber muffler... and hooker headers. i wanted chrome ones but if i did that they would be a BITCH to polish.. so maybe ill get black.

I agree.
My 'new' camaro had a hollowed out 'cat' and straight pipe ran out to the back in the factory 'dual' locations and sounded like total a-- (except at idle).
24hrs after owning the car I made a muffler to replace the hollowed out 'cat'.

save up and get it done right, get heades, high flow cat and quality catback, a grand later you will be happy with the gains.

If you want, do it both ways, kinda, get an exhaust system with a cutout.

Tom

normally i wouldnt listen to a guy named tom that looks like that, but he/she is right

Very funny

i had straight pipes....

never again....ride sucked- too loud, reminded me of a bad movie with a 4x4 hillbilly truck. COPS were like hmmmmm all the time.

i have a straight pipe with dual outlets.i like the sound of it.i still have the cat .let me tell you what kind of car i have , 1985 trans am 305 tpi.i like the sound of it, its loud but i lost low end torque.when i rev it up when its just started up it popps but once it has run for like 2 or 3 minutes no poooping at all.

the cat kills a lot of the sound - so i bet it aint that loud....

well i was at partsource and i could get hooker headers for 150 bucks.. canadian... and i could get a hooker aero chamber muffler for 100.. but what i wanted was to get the hooker headers leading into 3 inch pipes to DUAL mufflers.. but i dont know what kind of mufflers i would get if i had this setup.. i want a muffler for around 100 dollars for both pipes.. or would i be better off just getting one like the stock one.
