Mine is done now. Tried about 4 combos today and stayed with the straight pipes from the cats back and added 2 12 inch glasspaks. I also tried a twisty (sound got quieter and deeper) then two 16 inch glasspaks (sounds was probably what you are looking for... quiter than the 12inch ones and cleaned it up considerably.) The difference between my plain cat-back pipes and the addition of the 12 inch paks was measureable for sure. Still get the great sound but cut it down a couple notches and cleaned it up.... say from a 10 to about an 8 or an 8.5. Now I can hear much better in the cabin and didnt lose that exotic sound outside. I know it is quieter because I only set off 1 alarm in my garage instead of the usual 4 and had a late lunch with my roads engineer in Plano and we could speak to each other easily and hear people on the phone no problem. You can even get longer paks if you want to make it quieter yet. All for less than $500 bones. Call Daniel or Jerry at Jerry's. I told them you have the same car and looking for more sound. They were great. Daniel did the install in about 2.5 hours on the total deal both visits.
You should have stopped by and heard all the combos... or just get ya a Tubi and start eating lunch off the
valu-menu
Just taking the X pipe out will make a big difference and taking just the tail pipes off will also.... we tried all the combos but I wanted more sound and a little more higher pitched note... now I have it.
Combos I tried:
1. Stock
-Sucked
2. Just removed X pipe
- Better but still too low. Sounded like an over revving Camaro
3. Back Boxes off
- About the same as the X removed. Camro again
4.Straight Pipes back from the CATS and 3.5 inch tips
- Sound was awesome but a but too radical and a bit obnoxious after two weeks of driving it that way. The exhaust note exterior and interior sounded great but a bit too much.
5. Straight pipes and 16 inch paks.
- Sounded great but I liked the 12s better
6. Straight pipes with 16 inch "twistys"
- Sound got deeper and quieter. I wanted a higher pitch.
7. Went with Straight pipes and 12 inch paks.
- Sounded like a cleaned up and toned down version of just straight pipes. The paks made it a tad quieter, a tad snappier and a tad higher pitched. PERFECT for me.
