Looking to make exhaust louder

[Cali Gen]

I live close to a prominent exhaust shop where people who live out of state travel to have work done on their vehicles, custom fabrication, along with installing any kit. For exhaust techs it's well known in the industry that many catback systems have their quirks and sometimes require extra time verses just a bolt on.

This was the case when MagnaFlow first introduced their catback for the 1st Gen 4.6 - the exhaust needed more clearance for installation, so an installer would usually just add a bunch of spacers in the form of large washers to solve this issue.

Now, on my Borla catback one side installed with no issues, but the other side was off and required a cut and weld for proper fitment.

Well removed OEM exhaust with a friend and we had everything bolted up in under 2 hours! Removal of the exhaust inserts was easy peasy after removing stock exhaust.. the mf 16497 comes with quad exhaust tips that would fit pre 12 models however they were a tad short but I was able to drive around for 2 days with no signs of anything melting before I got my 3.5 tips welded on. No issues to speak of. Sounds like sex. Our 8 speed transmission really helps with it not being so loud that you're gonna get pulled over for it. And drone really isnt even an issue unless you're going up hill which you can always just manually shift to a different gear to make it go away completely.. barely even noticed if you have music playing. If you turn it up you dont hear it at all.

Awesome that you're enjoying the sound! Where did you find the rear diffuser, I've never seen one for our cars?

The sound quality of this clip is so shit though..

You wanted it louder, so you got it loud. So loud in fact that the volume overloads his mic under the bridge should be enough of an example of how loud it gets.

If you want A/B comparisons of the cutouts closed/partial/full-open, then you can get them in that thread or the other related cutout threads.

Suggest you try the forum Search ... look for "RSPEC electric cutout" and similar terms.

I've been over 150 with this it doesnt move at all. Especially if you put adhesion promoter on the double sided tape before you stick it on the car. That sucker will never come off.
