  • How Loud is this gonna be?

    Ok right now I have a borla adjustable catback thats "open". Im purchasing headers in the next few days and plan on gutting the cat. How loud do yall think this is going to be? Im not really that worried about it since I can close the plates on the borla to make it less loud. But Im just curious. Also How much of a power increase do yall think Im going to see with the ceramic coated headers and a gutted cat going to an open borla?
    Thanks guys.

    with no cat, and the "open" plate its going to be really loud. im 99% sure your'll end up swapping the plates, it'll be too loud and raspy for daily driving. cat's are a decent restriction, even hi-flow ones, you should definatly notice a little more power up top.

          then keep the cat. trust me, just get a high flow one. with the cam your car will be twice as loud. but yes, the cam will help the rasp.

            Lol twice as loud, damn. I just dont want to spend the extra money for a high flow cat, lol. Id rather make it quieter with the blockoff plates on the exhaust. So when i go to the track I can take them out and its all nice and open.

              you can get a cat for $50 , jegs, summit, ebay. but yea, cammed cars are LOUD. kristen's car is quite a bit louder than mine and she has a flowmaster mufller where i have practically none.

                Fu*k ebay, I ordered a magnaflow high flow cat from there 4 months ago and it never came in... I called so many times no one answered my calls. Thats was my first time using it. It wont me my last just because I know that is decently rare that those things happen. Just had some bad luck.

                      I have been very lucky with ebay. Over 300 transactions (50/50 buying vs selling) and I have not even had one bad transaction. Maybe try again, but make sure that you check and read the persons feedback, it can tell you alot.

                      And yes, your car will be very loud.

                        She also has headers. And intake, which I'm not sure that you have. Have to take that into account.

                          he said he's getting headers, and intakes dont do all the much to the volume of the exhuast at all, just deepen it a tad really.
