WTF?</P>

what ? did i do something wrong. ahh crap i knew this wouldnt fly over too well, time to crawl in a hole and hide.

will this make my car go slower or what ? if so i can always hook the old exhaust back up.

</P>

You'll loose some low end torque and HP.........it is lous as hell too!!!!!!!!!!!..not good for taste</P>

ooo so cherry bombs make you loose hp ? so would it be better to run open headers or the old exhaust till i can get some h pipes ?

You won't lose HP, if anything you gained a nice handful of horsepower and tons of noise. Don't listen to that trash about losing HP.

I agree, I am a loudy, I mean lousy <IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">, typer <IMG src=smileys/smiley6.gif border="0"></P>

I meant that the info you spit out was't true....

put on a nice exhaust to keep the ridiculousness down. open headers sound nice but trust me, you will get tired of the constant bellowing.

but untill i can afford exhaust would cherry bombs work and not make me loose hp

You will not lose H.P., glass packs are straight through.

Geta set of cheap turbo mufflers, tehy sound a lot better than cherry bombs, parts america has them for like $20 and summit has some even cheaper. No you won't loose enough hp to make a difference.

DW-03GT has a good idea. As far as cherry bombs are concerned, their sound is a matter of taste. If you dig 'em, go for it. You won't lose a bunch of hp. Car Craft did a good comparo of the cheaper mufflers. Glasspacks outflowed every other muffler on a flowbench. CC ALSO dyno'ed them on a motor and the fell right in the middle. True, some of the old glasspacks weren't so hot, but they aren't around anymore. Cherry Bombs (the ones made today,anyway)and Thrush Magnum glasspacks are fine. Do want you like, and don't feel bad about it.

Ultraflows actually have less backpressure than a straight pipe (1" of water less to be precise)

yeah i saw that little article...isnt it weird...i wonder how the hell that is, but its true, it flows better

Back in the day glass packs flowed like crap even thou they were straigt thru, somthing to do with the internal baffling, don't knwo if they are anybetter now. They used to sound farty too, not like todays fart cans which sound like a 90lb chic farting, they were farty like a big fat guy the moring after pounding down a case of Genny cream ale (beer made in rochester, know for it's gaseous qualities)and eating burritos.</P>


I remember the thrush's pack blowing apart at the seams too<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">, talk about sounding like ass</P><edited><editID>DW-03GT</editID><editDate>37996.6462384259</editDate></edited>

Here's the full scoop on the old glasspack story. Old 'packs had louvered cores and were designed to be installed with the louvers facing into the exhaust stream. They were supposed to direct the sound into the packing material surrounding the core. Although you could see right through it, the louvers themselves created terrible turbulence and thus backpressure. Some cores were punched full of holes instead of louvers. Again, the ragged hole perforations protruded into the exhaust stream and caused backpressure. Today's Thrushglasspacks use holes punched away from the exhaust stream and into the fiberglass packing material, resulting in far better flow numbers.

thats has to just sound horrible. Open headers. Come on know. Your neighbors must wanna kill you.</P>

DUDE DONT LISTEN TO THESE DUDES DO STRAIGHT PIPES!1! NO MUFFLERS JUST PIPES IT'LL BE LOUD AS HELL AN DA LADIES WILL WANT YOU BAD!!!

so will the cops, guess that'a alright if you like men with inferiority complexes[8D] Not to condem all cops but that def is one of the two types of people who become cops according to my theory. The other being those who actually want to help people.

What can be done to the stock 2004 GT exhaust to make it growl louder? I too do not have $500 for headers and pipes.
One thing, I did not cut off anything. I still have it all stock!

here is another suggestion. see if anyone is selling thier old stock exhaust for cheap on ebay or in this forum.. A buddy of my up north, he has a 90 gt and mufflers where in bad shape. so he went to the local junk yard and found a 88 gt that was crashed in the front and with brand new flow masters on it. bought them for 50 bucks :eek:
