Will this make a difference?

[MyEclipse5]

I have a Magnaflow muffler on my car right now, and its too quiet. If i put a test pipe on(no emmisions) is that going to make the difference i want, or should i wate a long time to save up for custom straight pipe?

It will make a lot of difference. I'd go for it but I would also save up for a full exhaust in the future.

You want loud just dump it..

what size test pipe are you talking about? are you running stock dp and catback? i dont suggest you put on some 2.5" test pipe on stock pipsetting setting not worth it - save the money go 3"dp w/ 3"straight custom pipe or 3"test pipe.
youll want 3" later on.

but.. if youre on a budget and cant save up couple bills, go for it and get a testpipe. good gain for the bucks. gets louder and youll get a good power gain.

have you thought about just gutting the cat?

If you can go with a full 3" exhaust with a test pipe. I have a Magnaflow muffler on my car and a full 3" exhaust with no cat and it is loud enough to get attention from the wrong people.

LOw on budget, and how would i gut the cat?

 

[HSK]

stock cat is flanged, just pull it off and look inside, and just punch through all the filters inside. gl i suggest you do it w/ a friend who has done this before.

thats what i like to hear.

if we are talking about best bang for the bucks, wouldnt gutting the cat/test pipe be a better option? VS dump o2?

what kind of gains are you getting from your o2 dump? can i hear some testimonials~

(i am not trying to highjacking this thread, just trying to provide more info for the starter plus learn something)

They are joking, just buy a test pipe, beucase theres no way your just gonna be able to pop the catty off. your gonna have to saw the bolts off. and when u get it off ur not gonna want ot put that ugly rusted old thing back up. so just get a test pipe for like 30 bucks. Best bang for buck exhuast would be the RnR exhaust systems..3" Mandrel Bent.
