Has anyone taken off their stock exhaust and done some type of custom job? I'd be interested in what you've done.

 

Found this old thread for you

YEA ..... i took my exhaust all off and custom bent some piping 3" all the way back and just used magna flow tips and mufflers ......

 

I was thinking of doing something like that. Is it really loud inside the car? It's so loud right now I can barely hold conversations or hear the radio. Did you split it at the back so there are tips on each side? And muffler--why did you add this? Couldn't you just leave it off?

 

r u crazy dazygirl?

your driving around without ur exhaust/muffler.........lol
sorry for laughing but i can't imagine u drivin ur 8 like that....get a catback girl

 

Yea, I guess I am kinda crazy. I'm getting those "Damn, what kind of car is that?" looks not because it looks good, because it's loud as hell!
It is pretty funny. Especially when they see a girl is driving!
I thought about a catback, but doesn't that void the warranty? I haven't removed any of that stuff, just from the bolt-on back. I could always bolt the stock exhaust back on if I needed to.

 

That's a good thread. Thanks!!

 

loudness is rice girl......what u want is a nice crisp sounding set up that wont cause the wrong attention.....it might sound cool now but u'll want something quieter eventually.......but 2 each his/her own

 

Well it's so loud inside the car that it's starting to give me a headache. I want a mean loud sound, but not obnoxious. I think I'm borderline right now.
