I can't stand it any longer, putting the cats back on.  The beastly sound was a great novelty for while it lasted, but on longer trips in the stang, a cat-less exhaust is pretty annoying.  Not too mention, emissions inspection is coming soon.  So going to have the Cats welded back in.  Oh well, just will make the beast more of a "sleeper" hehe

I'm putting my stock pipes back on when I swap out the trans this weekend.  I can't even hear my supercharger.  Does anybody know if the Kenne Bell makes any noise?  I have no idea yet.

I understand, I installed the Pypes mid mufflers yesterday, and drove the car around today, and tomorrow I am taking them back off.  I like the stock exhaust better.

Yeah, it makes a whinning sound when you get on it. You may want to get some cheese to go along with the whine.

All I hear is a slight whistle when it's idleing but any amount of throttle with the Magnaflow O/R X and exhaust is all I hear.

Stock is too quite, unless you have no cats or something.  I can't even hear my stock exhaust over the whipple whine.

my whine gets drowned out by the BT's and the rest of the exhaust.  but i'm keeping it just how it is.  i still enjoy scaring an occasional unsuspecting bystander.  i guess i must not be getting any older.

Instead of welding the cats back on and that costing me $100 since I don't have a tig set up I found a used stock catted h-pipe.  Sounds SOOO much better.  AND I hear the KB spooling up again!!!! happy DAY!!

I don't know... must not be old enough yet.  I just put the JBA LT's on with the O/R H and I love the sound.  Course, I also usually drive with the windows open just so I can hear it  and considering I live in OR, that is a bit cold still LOL.
