Exhaust question

[DDorbandt]

How much would the tone in my exhaust change if I were to upgrade to the 2.5 inch cat-back pipeing instead of my current 2.25 inch pipeing? I currently have the Flowmaster original 40 series mufflers. I am wondering this because I am probably going to get the Super 40's and I was trying to decide if I should get just the mufflers to weld in or to get the whole cat-back. I would save a few hundred dead presidents one way, but I would rather have the best possible exhaust tone I could get. The only mod I have are cat-back exhaust and a K&N filtercharger. I am probably going to get a high-flow catted H-pipe soon too. Tell me how you think my exhaust would sound with each possible combo. Thanks for your time.

I don't think you'll notice much if anything from the change in pipe diameter. The biggest change by far will be from the high-flow catted H-pipe.

so you think I should just go with the weld-in super 40's?

You don't like the ones you have now? What is your goal? If it's more sound you're looking for, skip the cat-back and swap out the H-pipe.

Personally, I'm about to go the other way -- I'm running an O/R X-pipe and MAC cat-back, which is really frickin loud. I'm going to put my catted H-pipe back on this weekend, and then I may pick myself up a pair of Steeda Sleeper mufflers and weld them in. I'm getting too old to have an obnoxiously loud car .

Yeah, I just really want a louder, deeper sound. It is not quiet, but I would like it to be a lot louder...damn those 4 cats....so I should probably just save up for the catted h-pipe...and if i have money left over to waste, I COULD get teh super 40's? is that what you gusy think...thanks
