There is another thread bouncing around asking for muffler videos, didn't want to hyjack his thread so wanted to start my own. I believe he is looking for a quieter exhaust, I am looking in the other direction.

I recently cut off my cat. I have a occasional fart can sound that I need to track down and kill. I was expecting a 'meaner' sound when I did this but it wasn't that much of a change to me. The engine seams to run a little cooler, and I am hoping to see some MPG increase.

Now I am considering making a full stainless steel system from headers all the way back, which got me thinking......on Ebay there are always mass produced (therefore low cost) stainless system for other 4 bangers. Has anyone looked into one a these as a fairly easy adaptable set up for the 2.5 engine? I know, I know there would be cutting and welding involved. But I still believe with a litle work one of these could be used on our cars and when all the dust settled you could have a full stainless system for around $300. Thinking along the lines of a 2.5 in system with a resonator and a flowmaster muffler.

Personally I do not want a rice burner sound. I don't want a V-8 sound. Just want a sound that is a little meaner.

Ideas, comments, videos welcome.

OBX makes a catback exhaust for 944 N/As, get that and a honda 2.5" cat test pipe, should bolt up they're both 3 bolt flanges and then get a header.

He will go lower on the catback, I asked him, but since it was a 2.5inch i didn't take that path.

No problem, hate it when folks hyjack mine sometimes.

Have actually been told the most silent exhuast is the stock system, I know there are ways to make it quieter; but are you willing to give up some hp and mpg for a more silent running machine?

Check this out guys, the kid in Taiwan got this sound from a 2.8 Pontiac Fiero engine. My Fiero has a 3.4 in it and sounds NOTHING like this.

I have never ever heard any 60deg GM v6 sound like that...

Me either, sounds like a modified BMW V12. A guy on another forum claims he has figured out how they did it. Will believe it when I see it.
