I am starting to like this,like calling a tech line and actually getting someone with exerience ,Now
Any one know how hot the side pipes get on these things ?I was thinking of powder coating a set,it is hard for me to belive they would get too hot for this.
Next thing,any one ever had these apart ?I am looking for the right sound versus noise balance,I have a stock black set that came with the car,,WAY to restrictive,a stainless set that are about right on loudness,but the stainless gives them a funky ringing tone,and I have a set of straights,,fun but too loud,I am wondering if I can cut the stock ones at the weld,,remove and alter the baffleing,,any one tried this ?
Thanks Tim
