Alright.. I know some of you will frown on me for taking the route of a r!cer, but here is my plan.

I am doing a lot of underbody work (cleaning)

And everyday when I look at th exhaust I think to myself "I bet if
I drill a few holes in the exhaust before the muffler, it will sound sweet"

I plan on getting new headers and exhaust system by the end of September anyway, so here is my question.

-How much louder will it be(I know it wont sound like open headers or anything... just a little more beefier)?
-Where should I drill? And How big?
-How stupid am I?

 

-Not much louder at all. Where's the beef?
-Unless you plan to run straight pipe no cat and muffler why bother
-You'll be even stupider when the exhaust fumes get into the cabin for drilling holes in your exhaust pipe

 

the holes will only cause an exhaust leak. it will also sound like an exhaust leak. yuck.

 

My I pipe disconnected from the cat and it sounded mean. hehehe it wasnt like i ment for it to do that, it just happend. Right now im taking it off, but having problems with removing my cat. you will be stupid if it sounds like chit.. get a cat back but get one that fits your car!

 

One that fits my car?

That is a bunch of malarky, I am gonna get headers for a 454... so my car sounds like it has a 454, and an exhaust set up for like a dodge durango... then I can offroad with my trans am.
