5.0

I've seen it done, never well.

I tried it on my s, but open headers vs straight pipe that fell off didn't change sound much.

Yeah i had to jump on the opportunity. Latemodelresto had them for 255 plus shipping. Funny that i will get Tue exhaust before the car. Lol. But yeah for the price? No brainer. From what i read and spoke to, folks are very happy with it. It's essentially louder than stock for sure, but not as loud as say roush. The roush was nice but way too "poppy" for me.

I guess yes then.

I might do an x pipe next time. Heck even if I switch to a different axle back I can sell these. For 255 or so? Not too too hard to swallow.

Steve have you heard the gt500 in person? Curious how volume compares to yours

It's as loud as a GT500, so not quite as loud as mine.

Red__Zed · 09-26-2011, 02:17 PM

I haven't heard one in a while :-/

It's probably 50% louder than a GT, maybe more.

Red__Zed · 09-26-2011, 02:22 PM

So like if stock is a 2, they're a 3....what is the frpp?

On a scale from 0-10?

From 0-10 I would put the stockers at 3. FRPPs are at 8. GT500 is somewhere in between stock and FRPP.

Red's setup is probably like a 13.

Red__Zed · 09-26-2011, 02:33 PM

Blargh so hard to decide

m4a1mustang · 09-26-2011, 02:34 PM

Well since you obviously can't decide on exhaust, just get those Konis.

it was

Germany made laws and raped my baby of her ferocity, had to have coffee cans welded on because someone stole my stockers

I suppose its for the best for now, I live in a quiet part of the city with older neighbors. And that dude who revs in your complex just for kicks is a douche, I only like mine loud when I tear ass down the highway.

From what i have watched online, this might be accurate. This would be what I'm going for. Steve do u think the gt500s is to stock as my invidias were to stock on my z?
