How would straight pipes sound on a 89 LX? Custom done. I was either thinking either doing that, or getting a cheap catback. If not, what is a good sounding catback for 1 5/8" BBK Longtubes and a BBK O/R H-pipe.

If you mean straightpipes as in no mufflers... when my mufflers were off the car sounded like some WWII aircraft, absolutely obnoxious.

I imagine that would sound like when you drop a piece of lunchmeat on the floor. I think the mustang would sound slightly better than that.

My 85 and straight pipes when i got it, no cats no fufflers, it sounded like ASS FLAVORED ASS WITH A DOUBLE DOSE OF ASS MIXED IN WITH ASS SPRINKLES ON TOP.... It made me sad, i had to drive it around like that for a few months "long story i was 18" and i was ashamed of it so much, it made everyother thing stick out so much, I Put a stock exhaust from a 93 gt, headers back on and just that sounded better.....but then again my nagging wife sounds better than the pipes...
