Well i do have the magnaflow mufflers that i had put on the stock pipes. This $55 mod gave me quite a bit more power. When i smash on the peddle from a stop my tires will spin, that never used to happen, and at WOT the top end is very nice!
This was the auction

JohnnyB October 14th, 2005, 07:23 PM What's up with peering back and forth over your shoulder around as you are walking to and from the car? Makes you look shady, like you're up to no good. :N
Anyway, the LS's do sound decent with no exhaust at all. When I installed my Magnaflow system I just had to start the car after the stock stuff came off. I like the way they sound at idle w/ no exhaust; kinda like an '03-'04 Cobra. Any thing above idle is just loud as hell.
FreeFaller October 14th, 2005, 07:29 PM Ohhhh...that sounds gooood.
lexdiamondz10304 October 14th, 2005, 08:25 PM So do these open up electronically? And were did you place them? The price seems very good, because i've seen these run up to 200 bucks.
lexdiamondz10304 October 14th, 2005, 08:28 PM NVM I just read the ebay listing. This sounds like a good idea.

I will tell you that it is extremely loud for 90% of your tasts. I got the cheap manual flange one, the electronic ones way too expensive. They were mounted just after the cat, between where the resonators should be and the bend.
HyeLifeLS October 14th, 2005, 11:25 PM sounds real good..
kudisbetta October 15th, 2005, 04:56 PM CAN A V-6 sound like that. LOL
m1i2k9e October 15th, 2005, 06:21 PM Is there any drone at highway speeds and if so how bad is it?

Actually it most likely will sound similar.
Is there any drone at highway speeds and if so how bad is it?
By drone do you mean, extremely loud humming noise? When on a non accelerating speed after the car is warm at about 4k-5k RPM there is a really loud resonant tone. If you roll down the windows the wind helps dissipate it but unless you really like the humming it will get pretty annoying.

mholhut October 16th, 2005, 12:03 AM Been there done that... (http://www.wnec.edu/~mholhut/lincoln.mpg)
Kiss your low end torque goodbye. Drone at highway speeds? Sure as hell does.
m1i2k9e October 16th, 2005, 04:14 PM Ok, that's good to know seeing as how I've been tossing the idea of getting and electronic cut out. Still up in the air though. Do you guys think its worth it or do you find a conventional aftermarket exhaust to be the better route.
