sound difference with gutted cats

[black5.0]

does anyone know how much of a sound difference there will be if i gut my cats and keep the stock mufflers? i want a louder setup, but im tight on money so the most i can really get rigth now are mufflers and id like to even avoid that if possible. thanks guys.

it will be louder especially if your cats are clogged at all. get some dynomax race bullets...31.99 a piece from jegs(cheapest muffler that sounds good that ive seen)

hey ecu, do you like the sound of your exhaust setup? i guess mine would be kind of similar to yours. does it drone at all? how loud is it?

I got both my race bullets for 40 bucks.


If you are really interested let me know, I know someone who owns a shop and gets them cheap!

i love the way my car sounds....doesnt drone at all...but you can definetly hear it all the way through the rpms. it sounds like a stock car at full throttle.

I've got the racing bullits with an offroad H in my 68 and would only change for the macs. The bullits are loud, but not nasty. The macs are chambered, but not so hollow-metallic sounding as flowmasters. Both will drone if you use turn downs and don't either exit the side or through tailpipes. I've heard an x-chamber and regular type x, and the chamber is a little toned down. Both had the bassani's after the x. Gutting out the cats will be better, but I think it might be like the x-chamber in that it will be toned down compared to an offroad H. You won't be truly happy till you can get one. I would recommend spending the time to gut the cats on an odd-job to raise money for the offroad. The macs aren't much more than the bullits and would go with the genre of the 5.0. My .02 worth.

black5.0 - you should notice more volume if you gut the cats. You don't have emissions/sniffer to pass there in PA?

nope, not im my county anyway. 96 and older vehicles just have to pass a visual inspection, thats why i want to gut them instead of getting on off road h.
