Default Modified stock exhaust

I modified the stock exhaust to simulate the PSE. It is slightly louder than stock, but not as loud as PSE. It is definitely throatier. It is not loud enough for me. Anyone interested in buying it for what it cost me $300?

Regards,
Anthony

Nice welding work, Florindi. I already have PSE... what are you looking at replacing it with? Tubi? AWE?

I was thinking of the supersprint. I tried the AWE and I was not fond of its low rpm sound. But after 3K is was awesome. Tubi is too much money for just mufflers.

Florindi? Didn't I suggest 2" pipe? 1 3/4 inch will obviously be quieter.

Well I decided to cut the can open and do some surgery. Based on the internal construction and without totally cutting the can open, I made some internal mods to mimic the PSE. I think it is close in sound. The PSE definitely is different internally than the stock. It is not as loud at idle, but under load the sound is close in volume. I'll try to post a sound clip. I am thinking of selling the mufflers with the factory chromed tips for $600. This covers my cost for all the fabrication. The factory tips are worth about $400 new. So it a good bargain for someone looking for better than stock sound and new tips.
