Ive had three huge holes in my exhaust for close to a month. I cant stand it. So I purchased Jeffros stocker. Ive always had the setup that was on it. it was there when I bought the car. I just found out that my pipes werent stock. I was under the impression that it just had a universal muffler on it when really it had 2.5 inch pipes with two resonators. Funny thing is that even though my car is ultra quiet it pulls harder than before. Is this weird to anyone else?
Wanna buy my nismo exhaust..? I need to upgrade to 3 inch.

Glad to see everything worked out Keith. The Nismo exhuast does sound killer though.
How much yo uwant to let it go for Doug?

Im still waiting for the guy with the NISMO exhaust to call me back for the trade. If you needed 3inchers i could have just gave you my old set up. the retard that owned my car before had it installed with that.
The stock one is fun though because no one knows that i still have intake and header, the look on their faces after i win is great. I look otherwise stock. Probably not as much fun as yours though doug.

BTW doug, how low is your car? I have a 2 inch drop on mine and I want to upsize my tire to a 225. I just dont want to rub.

Chevy Malibu owners always have that look on their face.

Sometimes, too little back pressure will hurt your torque down low. With a larger exhaust, you'll get more hp up top but less torque down low. That's why some guys will make up for that by increasing the rear gear ratio in the older V8 cars. i.e. rear wheel drive cars. That would increase the torque multiplication effect and make up for the loss of torque down low when you free up the exhaust by adding larger pipes, free flow mufflers, cat deletes, and removing resonators.

Well its not staying, the guy i was supposed to trade with went awol. So im ordering the Megan Racing downpipe, and the megan racing cat back so I can hear some noise again.

Going back to stock pipes could've increased the low end torque by a small margain, but it should be barely noticeable, if at all.
