Racing Beat with Replacement Cat

Does anyone have this setup? I looked for some videos but only found one.

I'm hoping to have enough money saved to buy this setup sometime in the next couple of months. If anyone can find or can post a video of what it sounds like i'd really appreciate it.

'replacement cat'?
you need to be more specific.

are you referring to a race pipe? (aka unresonated midpipe)
are you referring to Racing Beat's dual resonated midpipe?

that thread talks about a race pipe which is insanely loud.

unresonated, just the straight pipe.

I've never heard just a straight pipe but from driving around with my agency power midpipe which is dual resonated and still pretty damn loud, a straight pipe would be way to loud. You should consider getting one from RB with the resonators.

I don't think it will be real bad, I guess i'll find out before to long. It can't be any louder than some of the Mustangs around here.

Well I was going to get the catback anyways, the catalytic converter replace pipe is only 260 so it won't be that bad of a loss. I'll get it as well and see how it goes. Worse comes to worse i'll just put the stock midpipe back on.

I think with the agency power midpipe I have now I could easily get a loud exhaust ticket, most of the sound is from the resonance at 3-4k because I am still running the stock cat back. It did make it noticeably louder other than that though, but in a good way.

I live in a small town, cops aren't really to strict with exhaust noise unless you're just showing off. I seen a guy in town today with no exhaust in a loud *** chevy. It all just depends on what kind of cop you go by I suppose.
