Local shop ran pipes from stock catalytic converters direct to muffler. Sounded awful, really loud and raspy. Put a couple of turbo packs in front of the muffler and improved sound 100%. Nice bark when you mash the go pedal and a nice rumble at idle and low throttle. No droning and totally unobtrusive at highway speed cruising. Total cost $870.00.

You're not going to see any major gains because the stock cats are very restrictive, suggest you get a set of hi-flow cats. I did the straight pipes to the muffler setup, it yielded gains but then again I had long tube headers as well. However, it sounded extremely raspy, "tinny," and while it was loud it sounded like a lawnmower on steroids. I would definitely like to hear how it sounds without the muffler, Flush...got any vids?

Maybe I'm the only one but I think Zeek's system didn't sound bad at all.. that being said there are a few options for full stainless exhausts around that price that I would have considered first but it def doesn't sound like a bad setup to me.

The Z is quiet at idle, it sounds bad as you get on it.

Okay it was freezing balls this morning but I still took a video for you lol It tends to backfire and pop a little when it's cold and hasn't warmed up yet. Sorry for the quality. 2nd video is better.
This is a completely cold start https://picasaweb.google.com/1098487...17137907239746 This is a little warmed up. Make sure to watch in 720p HD https://picasaweb.google.com/1098487...17143450088210
