Disappointing Exhaust
#1
Hi all,
Got done replacing my cats this weekend with the down pipe and pre-silencer. Didn't do the header thing since I've read on here it would be loud enough without it, plus another manufacturer site said a header wouldn't help the HP without redoing the intake system, etc.
The instructions made it sound like the cats could be replaced without dropping the whole rear exhaust, but I couldn't do it without dismantling everything. Is there a way?
I also noticed the mufflers said "Midas". Didn't think much about it till I started it up again and it's waaaaaaaay too quiet still. Not looking for ear-splitting, but I was defintely trying for loud. Now instead of hearing nothing but stuff from the engine bay, it sounds like one of the "throatier" factory exhausts on a performance car. Guess I'll have to spring for one of the cat back syustems next. I think each one of those Midas mufflers on there would be enough for any regular car.

nope, sorry...
If I get it running in the near future I will record it... But I don't know when that will be since it's been ******* crazy cold here!
