So wait. You want to ditch your ws2 for a shitpipe.. ,pardon my french, straight pipe?

[chickoomaster]

Don't do it! I have a pretty shiny resonated test pipe and it's great and all but I'd rather have my converter back! Too loud.

Just put the cat back on and stop killing my planet. That straight pipe will get you MAYBE half a horsepower, it'll sound like shit, and it could very well corrode your WS2.

ok what should i do. i got a bee r rev limiter kit and what it does is take unburnt gas and blow it throught the tail pipe. i mostly got it for the 2 step but any ways in order to get that flame effect you need a striaght pipe because it will mess up my oem cat. i can care less about that flame crap. but is there anything i can do to get around this???

Why don't you find out for your self.

honestly i dont know what to do thats why i posted it here

Put the cat back on. When you go to the track, put the straight pipe on and use your Bee-R.

Or are you going to be that ricer at stoplights revving at everyone and shooting flames? That's a REALLY easy way to lose your car.

just get a test pipe ur exhaust is good. A straight pipe is loud as a mofo to anwser ur question

i was thinking about getting i straight pipe. if it's to loud that's wack. i rather be silent but deadly. thanks for this my question about straight piping it got answered

[wed3k]

my apexi didnt sound any different, in fact i actually was let go by a cop and he asked me to rev to 3k.

Noo

ahaha i made a straight pipe. its loud. which isnt cool. i was stupid.. many of tickets regarding my exhaust...

in the long run, i dont think there was any gain, it was loud shot fire, and was intimidating. but thats about it....

then again, i welded it my self and made the dump under the passenger seat,

makes a nasty car shudder from the resonance.

my opinion. if its loud your after. do it.

A cat doesn't necessarily kill all the sound. My first exhaust was custom made, straight back to a fart can. 2.25". Yea, it was obnoxiously loud, but the silencer in the muffler helped a lot. Now, I went back to the shop to get a catalytic and my stock muffler put on. The guy put the cat on and said "start it up, see if you like it". With just the catalytic installed at the moment, still had the fart can on. It was just as loud, but more high pitch. Once he put the muffler on, it sounded bone stock. No exhaust sound whatsoever. Pissed me off, actually.

So, I chopped my muffler off. Gave it to a tuner on here to pass inspection, and got a raptor muffler installed. Best sounding by far. I'm sure that ws2 muffler itself will kill a lot of sound, so if you were to take the cat off and install a straight pipe, it wouldn't be obnoxiously loud. Probably wouldn't really be loud at all. Would most likely only be loud if you threw an Ebay fart can on it.

I mean, cat's are there for a reason, to help emissions and all. About half the cars around here, I have no idea how they pass emissions. The smoke, burning oil, etc. Car doesn't burn oil with the new engine, but it does run a little rich. I have a header, test-pipe, Ebay cat-back, and it doesn't sound too bad. The silencer is in a lot of the time, and the neighbors say it sounds real good, with the silencer out. (they're like, 60 years old. If it was loud, they'd complain). I'm sure a test-pipe isn't as loud as a flat out straight pipe. My exhaust now is nowhere near as loud as it was when it was straight back.
