New guy, exhaust question

Crissytal

I'm in the same boat. I'm happy with the performance, but would like the car a little louder. I'm looking into just the GT Haus Meisterschaft GTS axle back. It's far from cheap, but has a very nice sound. I don't know how just the muffler will sound on an all stock car.

I've read that a full cat back system can cause noticeable power loss in the low to mid range without any other breather mods. I'm trying to avoid that by just upgrading the muffler.

I've always wondered, those of you running the short tails and/or test pipes, what do you do about emissions and inspections? Do you just swap everything out each year or are your states more lenient?

Curious as to where you heard that. I run a F.I. catback and have no noticeable loss in power anywhere in the rpm range.

Short tails/axle back mods have zero effect on passing/failing. Test pipe runners will either swap them out or get the car inspected at a shop that will pass it with a wink. Ask around - almost all local forums or FB groups have a section on this.

As for GT Haus, if money is no object and you're dead set against a full catback go ahead. For that price you could also get a Motordyne Shockwave E370 system which sounds incredible - have heard in person and can vouch.
