how are you guys liking yours so far? i got mine new years eve, and that thing sounds bad ass. Now if could only get it to back it up id be really happy. the only complaint i have is its pretty vibratey(?) and a little loud when cruising at 60<. i just cant get over how damn awesome it sounds.
 
i love mine!

i get a TON of looks though. only down side, draw attention to your self.
 
I liked mine but put the muff's back on this summer. Just got sick of the attention/noise, esp since I'm stock.
 
Straight pipes is when you have no cats. No mufflers does not equal straight pipes. I think there's some confusion in this thread. I have straight pipes, 3 inch custom x pipe and Summit turbo mufflers. It's a mellow setup until you get on it.
 
if you straight pipe your exhaust and have no cats and mufflers don't you have to do something so you don't breathe the exhaust in thru the vents?

okay mr. technical
 
Mine is Supercharged into Kooks headers then into a Magnaflow dual 2 1/2" in and out X-pipe Resonator. It barely cost more than just a X-Pipe and works like a drive shaft loop. Then dual 2 1/2'' plpes all the way back. It's as loud as most with straight pipes. Most of the sound in this video is my Lincoln Mark VIII. Supercharged Mark VIII Vs Supercharged Thunderbird - YouTube
 
I've got hollowed out cats, no resonators, and no mufflers. Pure straight pipes.... it was fun for a while, but I'm tired of it now. It just sounds soo obnoxious. I'm slowly collecting parts for new exhaust and a more "refined" tone..... but yeah it def sounds bada$$ at wide open throttle and will def get yo lots of attention........wanted and unwanted
 
That does sound good

OP is your car a base or lsc? Personally for the price of a couple mufflers it just sounds better

If lsc third cat removal and some kind of equalizer pipe h x really helps with the overall sound....chambered mufflers tend to give you more "drone" ie. flowmaster....a straight through design tends to have a quieter idle but really roars to life under a load and has less drone...but if straight pipes is what your after that raspy sound..to each and there own

But having owned several of these cars...a muffler makes all the difference

Come spring...I'm doing a complete system..cobra manifolds, high flow cats, h or x undecided probably try both ways then pick...and a straight through style muffler...magnaflow, dynomax, borla
 
Yes sometimes it annoying and attract attention when you would rather not. Have you ever seen drillers. He has cutoffs he can control from in the car. Got me thinking.
 
my cars a 97 lsc and i just had 2.5 ran from the third cat back (which i wanted taken out, no local shops would do it). i think it sounds very cobra ish
 
I have straights on mine. Love it. No muffs or that third cat thing. Its a base. I tried the LSC exhaust with straights and honestly hated it. So I painstakingly swapped over.

wow way to make me feel like a pansie lol. i was just in a parking garage today with the car and it was by far the highlight of my day :D:D:D
 
When we put headers on my 1993 mark I noticed the cats (one being part of the exhaust manifold) had been hollowed out (looks like a good job) but if anybody want them they can have them. You have to pick them up though, no shipping.
 
when i can shoot a not crap quality video i'll make a vid of mine. it's nothing short of musical lol

We call it music. People just don't understand, especialy the cops. That's why I coast by a cruiser when I see one. Sometimes a downshift is necessary to reduce drone if I am in that dreaded sweet spot. :p

no offense at all but from what ive read i thinks its unlikely your putting down that rwhp through an auto on your truck without some spray or FI. are they really that badass with just an NA 5.0?
