Default loud or not?

Mod exhaust is here, I'll let you know what it sounds like when I get 'em on. I was going to wait until this weekend, but hey...I have no plans tonight.

Any ideas on projected time on a muffler swap? I have a buddy coming over, need to know if I'll need more beer.

3 hours with no lift is my guess. Of course the second side will fly compared to all the figuring on the first side. And...the more beers...the longer the job will be.

I wonder what kind of exhaust mod. are you doing. Muffler by-pass or cat by-pass. You will be disappointed with muffler by-pass.

You will not be disappointed at all. Somehow, the sounds gets better after the first few days.

I'm working on a new exhaust mod. Using a 997 cans and hook up a by-pass pipe. Also, I am working on a 996 cans with 2nd outlet pipe to the tips. Both mod. should give very aggressive sound, I hope!
