Slamming isnt in the near future since I live in Nebraska and it's my daily....I noticed recently you slammed n spaced yours tho and it seemed like you have to deal with snow as well. How well are you getting around?

perfectly fine, as long as you arent trail-blazing through the snow at least.

I had near bald tires from increased camber wear since i never got an alignment, so getting around in light snow was a challenge, until i took off TC.

i was at 3.5 inches off the ground, i just installed stance coilovers and my bilstein and sprint setup will be for sale as soon as i can get pictures.

my car wasnt slammed, it was pretty aggressively low. The bilstein shocks were amazing, they didnt allow for any rubbing to happen when i put 25mm spacers on.

Hey,

I have read several exhaust stickies and threads, however my question is more base on principle not brand names, nor performance. I also have listened to many clips, however every set up is different.

I am leaving the stock cat untouched. looking for diameter of mid pipe, 1 muffler or two? size and shape of muffler? and suggestions for tips?

I would like the deepest, baritone, purrr of an exhaust system.
I do not want loud, popping, high pitched noise.
I am aware that any aftermarket exhaust is louder than stock, but you know what i mean when i say i don't want the entire neighborhood to hear me.

thus far research has told me a larger diameter mid pipe and high quality steel with smooth bends. true or not?

Appreciate everyone help and this awesome forum!

Yes I know this thread is 7 years old. I’ve fitted an aussie made x force cat back with Anti drone pot. It’s quieter than I like but has a deep note to it. I have also just made my own 3” midpipe plus res and 100 cell cat and it got a little louder but no tinnier. I like loud so I’m thinking of pulling out some packing to get the noise I want but if you want deep off a stock cat and zero drone, import/buy an x force cat back. (Also a couple of places have them 1/2 price as aussies don’t like quiet apparently)
