Yeah, like hell. It seems those stock mufflers aren't exactly "stock." The guy that did the work for me, who does a fabulous meticulous job by the way, said that he's never heard that kind of sound come out of "stock" mufflers, he was SUPER surprised. Anyway, it's not quiet at all, it would blow your mind. Maybe I'll get a sound clip or something, my gosh.
Let's put it this way, I sound like a truck....no joke. Because it's true dual exhaust now, I'm getting that pitter patter sound, yeah, just like those big trucks, have you heard what I'm talking about? So, the guy suggested that we could put a cross pipe in between the two where the 3rd cat was and see if we can get the sound to mellow out and be in sync, rather than pitter patter. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll probably just have him throw the 3rd cat back on, I seriously miss the old sound now, regardless of the flow. I feel like I've ruined my baby, 1995 with 27,500 miles on it...yeah.
I've lost a bit of my bottom end as expected, but the top end feels a bit snappier. I can't image putting on magna's at this point, would be even louder...yikes. I wish you could test things with out committing to buy into them, you know? Anyway...
I also can't imagine putting on 2.5", I'd loose even more of my bottom end and end up spending another $1k to get a torque converter put on there.
