midpipe pipe is easy.

On a stockish 96-98 GT it shouldnt be too loud with us pushing about 190-200HP, but the car does get alot slower without the cats and thats one of the major let downs. People say you gain the power in the upper rpms but unless you have a PI swap than gaining power in the upper rpm's is BS. You must remeber our cars fall on there face at high rpm's so down low is pretty much all we have and its already a slow car to begin with.


For sound its worth it.

No you wouldn't because you're talking welding every time you want to switch.

Or he could have some flanges welded onto the mid pipe, the cut out section of the mid pipe and some cats. Then he could just switch from offroad to catted.

Atleast on my car its alot slower and i have a 5 speed. If i floor it than i get a nice loud MAC tone and sound, but my speedo is barely moving. If i put the cats back on than im faster.

Sounds like but i dont know.

There is no such thing as "TOO LOUD"
