haha....weaksauce. I love the sound of my car with the cutout open and it's pretty much located where your I pipe fell off.

LTb1ow 04-19-2009 07:54 PM

Eh, your stock heads/cam and a open Y is a whole lot louder than a cutout me thinks.

sweetbmxrider 04-19-2009 07:57 PM

I "cruised" with a head/cam/sprayed LS1 yesterday and at WOT, he wasn't that much louder than me. I'll be at the circus meet on Saturday(yes, this time I will actually be to a meet) and you'll be able to hear it.

sweetbmxrider 04-19-2009 08:02 PM

i'm not gunna lie, i've been in both cars and matts is definitely louder than yours vin, but yours sounds great too. dougs is aight :lol:

LTb1ow 04-19-2009 08:02 PM

Ok, well LS1s are weak anyways, prob why they aren't loud.


Now onto the tech part of this. Can one have a stainless pipe welded to a non stainless pipe with any success?

Yes, that's how my cutout was welded in. I believe it can be mig or tig welded.

LTb1ow 04-19-2009 08:05 PM

Ok, I guess I should look into that, and maybe a new muffler?

That clamp was tight as hell so I guess to much back pressure from an 'eh" muffler maybe?

I think you'd need a descent amount of back pressure to do that. Do you have sub frame connectors...coulda been body flex...

sweetbmxrider 04-19-2009 08:08 PM

maybe poly motor mounts too?

want a magnaflow :lol:

LTb1ow 04-19-2009 08:09 PM

Got mounts, got SFCs.

And no, you keep your dirty magnaflow.

I was thinking a cutout since I really should have it welded up.

cut-out is the way to go. Magnaflow is too quiet<<----the reason my car has a cutout.

LTb1ow 04-19-2009 08:12 PM

Woah, no one told me we were going on a move...

Yea I got confused too, ****ing ghosts.

Blackbirdws6 04-19-2009 08:44 PM

haha that sucks but I'm sure it sounded pretty nasty. Might want to retorque all of your interior screws and bolts. Cutouts are great btw!

LTb1ow 04-19-2009 08:45 PM

It did suck, so so much.

I am going to check the headers tmmr and what not.
