Default Hear my exhaust

Finally, I took the time to put a video from last year online. This is of my custom Magnaflow system. OE cat in place, with Magnaflow muffler.
I took these with my Canon camera, so the sound is not the best.

See HERE for car accelerating from a stop. FYI... that is a friend driving, not the best use of my clutch and gearbox, but you get the idea.
See HERE for idle and throttle blip at a stop.

Sweet! I love the sound! Sounds "meaty". Don't ever go back to stock! You have a race-car...now it sounds like one. You will become "That guy" in your neighborhood, like me. If you aren't already.

Thanks jugger911, and I already am that guy... have been for a while.

mada1,
I built it myself... muffler was about $90, mandrel stainless bends were about $40, tip was $26, plus mig welding wire and gas, about $100, b/c I had to buy special wire and gas for the welding. So, about $260 into all of it.

A little write-up HERE from when I installed it.

Sounds great. Good job.

OT...can you shoot me a pic of the car with the windows up. I am thinking of getting mine tinted and wanted to see what a targa looks like with tints all around.

My 89 C4 had the exact same setup up. I had someone else do it for me.

My 91 cab will be scheduled to go in shortly to have this done. The car did feel more peppy as well.

Cat by pass and secondary bypass with 3" SS mandral bent with custom magnaflow exhaust. $550 installed.

The horniest sound I have heard. A clip from my old exhaust.

Jeff,
With your system, was the cat ever on it? I am considering putting a cat-bypass on, but wonder if it will be too loud... not that it really matters.

No cat on my car. It was quite loud. The car woke up mostly under WOT. As far as cruising, it was not over bearing at all. But everyone has there own tolerance.
