cheap rumble

[lmcfxr]

I'm want to boost the noise from this car without pissing off the OCM. I've heard that changing the back pressure on the system will affect the O2 sensors and resulting in less ponies from the motor.
I've been looking thru the threads and have been wondering how to do this cheaply(still paying for new motor). I'm familiar with the exhaust and have good welding skills.

Do you really need that resonator?
What's up with the 3 cats?

My vote if your just going for sound is to replace the rear mufflers with just pipe. It'll probably give you a little less low end torque, but the sound is awesome.

RE: cheap rumble

ya cut the mufflers, it sounds good, people say buy the race bullet mufflers there only 30 bucks and it sound really good OMG it the best but for real it sounds just like cutting the mufflers off.

RE: cheap rumble

I'd go with bullets. they are cheap, sound awesome, and have ZERO reversion, unlike when you just "cut the mufflers off". without mufflers, when you rev it, then lift(coasting down a hill) the raspy back-burps sound ghetto.

Bullets baby...2 installed for less than $100

RE: cheap rumble

why does inaccurate info get passed around? Your O2 sensors have nothing to do with it. I have a custom mandrel bent exhaust on my '97. It is great, no mufflers at the rear, just a dual in dual out muffler with a built in "X". It is where the third cat and resonator used to be.
