Straight Pipes
I heard a mustang Cobra go by the other day, and I thought "thats what I want my Camaro to sound like", so I caught up with him at a stop light and asked what kind of pipes he was running....his answer was "straight pipes"......but it sounded good, not loud and crappy like a lot of cars with no muffler........I was wondering if anybody tried running straight pipes behind the cat converter.......the Cobra had dual outlets and I'm thinking a cat and no mufflers, adapt to straight pipes might be the way to go........any thoughts.?????

Lmfao, so what exactly does poo nuggets sound like? You should have tried reving your car and blowing the poo nuggets out.
Do you still drive that car? I believe I read that it was in an accident a while back.
