Mid pipe question

[W3LCH]

So I have DTLT's with Borla cat-back and was wondering how to get more sound without losing back pressure since I hear you do with the URD y-pipe since I'm N/A... I was looking at the DT Pipebombs but I hear you have to do some fitting since they don't just bolt right up. Any ideas would be much appreciated.:top:

hey search the dt pipe bomb on here not too good of reviews bro just a heads up but totally your decision

 

[W3LCH]

Yea that's why I'm trying to finds some alternatives and not loose back pressure I just want more sound.

I had a DT pipe bomb on my truck for about an hour before taking it off. The materials used is just junk(aluminized steel=POOP). the reason I took it off was because of the rasp and I wasn't willing to hack up my catback at the time to install a 2nd muffler. Ur better off just getting a URD 4X4 Y pipe and then add a second muffler right after the flange on the catback.

I don't know much about exhaust but I ran my Mazda with header and no cat or muffler, just a double baffled tip out the side before the back wheel for 15 years. If you go from a 2.25 dia to 3", I don't think there is a lot of back pressure left.

I want something that's loud but I can still handle on trips....

If you have it to loud, you'll attract the wrong people.

If your willing to cut on your y pipe, then I would say cut out the cats and hollow them out and weld them back in. The actual y pipe is what is creating your back pressure. Because all the pipe reduction and expansions are what create the back pressure.

Is this a bad idea?

 

[shaggy08xr]

No, as long as you don't have sniffer inspections in nc. It will definently livin up the sound of the exhaust. I currently have mine done this way with npt problems. The rear cats are not monitored, so by gutting them its not going to throw codes.

 

[W3LCH]

I might need to do it what setup do you have shaggy and do you have a clip?

 

[shaggy08xr]

I currently have jba shorties with gutted front and rear cats and a 3" Magnaflow catback. The only sound clip o have currently is my jba's, gutted front cats and 3" Magnaflow catback. I haven't done a new one since I gutted the rear cats.

 

[W3LCH]

Are magnaflows louder than borla?

 

[KETCHUP]

URD Y and buy high flow cats. I think Coupe is running this set up. You will loose some back pressure, but if you are going boost later, it will be worth it.

 

[W3LCH]

Thank Ketchup but i dont know if ill boost eventually i dont make much $ lol and congrats on getting your truck back and running looks great:top:

If you loose your rear cats and add the URD Y pipe, it will be pretty loud. You can live it, but may be annoying on a long trip. I added Magnaflows Hiflow mini cats. It quieted it down a bit.

 

[W3LCH]

That's sounds good I'll do that! Thanx Coupe:top:

The URD Y pipe is a nice piece.

 

[W3LCH]
