Hey man,

It looks good - but more importantly - how does she sound? How much did it cost and where did u get it? I am still weighing up all my options for an exhaust setup.

Peace,

i paid 140.00 shipped from *bay email him and tell him i sent you (Ebstores@yahoo.com) and 80 to install both tanks, i love the sound i didnt notice how nice it sounded until i let my freind drive it, it sounds like an exotic not like a whining or rice rocket noise nice throaty V8 sound.

4 inch piping? I think that's a little to wide for our V8.
I've been told too much of loss in back pressure will result in decreased hp tq.

Pros and Cons about the Exhaust


Pros- Looks more Agressive, Sounds more aggresive, Just cooler

Cons- Lost minimal power in Take-Off *,* but gains in high end about 50+mph

I am having a muffler shop do mine and quoted me at 150.00. I thought that was a good deal. I better check around.

Funny I was just asking about these mufflers 2 days ago. So they sound good ? Are they the GT spec ones, I think the N1 specs have a removable silencer. Think I will wait for magnaflows but these are still heavy on my mind because like yourself I am budget restricted at the moment.

i believe these are the n1 4in. the GT were 4.5in slant cut, and yes do have removable silencers (i took them out exactly when i opened my box they look ridiculous.

supraStar thanks, the modding is slowly but surely getting done, next is my drop and my strut bar.

Looks slick man-
I paid $150 for a local shop to run dual 2.5 in. pipes from the cat back to mufflers that i bought. I think that's about the going rate.
