How loud will this be?
Hey guys, I need to re do my exhaust. RIght now its just a 2.5 inch downpipe with a cat, and thats it.
What im going to do is a 2.5 inch downpipe that merges into a 3 inch exhaust.
This new system wont have a cat or muffler (money reasons). So my question is will the new exhaust be louder or quieter than the open downpipe with cat? Also, will the exhaust without muffler be loud enough for cops to care?

prolly depends on where you live and how many eople complain i live in alabama and drove a mustang gt with straight pipes... (No Mufflers or cats) and i never had any problems..
IMO it shouldn't be to loud
ill be running straight down pipe when i finish my turbo install untill i can get it to a shop

You guys think just one of these would quiet it down enough so as not to attract too much attention?

I'm in a similar boat. I'm really wanting to do something cheap for exhaust.
Would just that muffler really quiet the exhaust down enough? I'm thinking i'd like to do a high flow cat with that muffler and 3" piping. I think i'm a little more concerned with being quiet than you.

I am makeing a new downpipe in that budget too. I think ill just split it after the downpipe and at the diff, and just use good old 2 bolt flanges to mate them together. Thanks urgay! Ill go with that magnaflow I linked alittle bit ago.
