i say, if you just have a lightly modded 305 tpi, you'll probably lose some power, aside from smelling funny

.....not to mention your car will sound horrible and everyone will point and laugh as you drive by. If you want a loud car make horsepower don't subtract exhaust. Being loud gets old quick and at the end of the day you still have a 305.

Your camera is why that vid sounds like ass... it can't pick up the right tones. I've had the same problem.

i hopr your exhaust is bigger than 2 inch bro. you should really jsut call up jegs and have them send out a 3inch system from any of the polular brands. something for the single 3inch cat cars will wake up the tone and a little bit of power from the car.
no need to get one of theexpensive systmes either, just grab one with 3 inch, mandrel bent tube and a muffler that prduces the tone you like. personally i recomend magnaflow for good fit and finish and a nice tone and the hooker cat back which costs a little less.

Yeah, here was my vid:



The camera couldn't pick it up, that's with Dynomax bulletts.


Kid, your best bet (as stated) is to pick up a system from Jeg's like NJSPEEDER said. It will sound good and loud when you want it to with none of the annoying tones.

Im pretty sure almost all the guys on here that know their ****, will agree, a loud car doesnt make a fast car, and how much noise your car makes doesnt make it sound good, how your car will get a unique and nice sound depending on the muffler you choose. If you dont have an exaust you will just sound like an old beat up farm truck, ask me how I know.
