MS- I found a sound clip for Miltek's catback. It sounds realy nice. I run a Magnaflow which iis very similar to Envidia and Borrla.

Kind of surprised that there is a general thought that the Magna sounds loud. When listening to both the Envidia and Borla they sound very much like mine and the video clips sounds I fond on youtube.

Loudest exhaust eh? I might be a challenge for ya. And that's a nice picture, it kinda reminds me of something...

I hope Gary did a good job for you. He did an entire cat back for me and I'm not too pleased with how it turned out.

I ended up having an exhaust leak where he burned 2 holes in the pipe, he under-quoted me by about $150, and my exhaust tips are crooked and have surface rust. It also seemed to take forever, I was there for like 5 hours cause he had so much trouble getting anything to fit.

I originally wanted a muffler and resonator in there while going with an Alta style routing and I wanted 3" tips. He ended up not having a single muffler that would fit and the tips didn't either. He ended up putting in 2 resonators and making his own custom tips with a custom collector.

I was really surprised by the whole situation too, cause I have never heard anything bad about his work. I talked to a few people who knew him and the only thing they could think of was that he was so busy with autorama (which is around when I had it done).

I'd take it back and ask him to fix it for you...I'm sure he would bend over backwards to get it right for you if he knew you aren't happy...:)

Cheers,

Whats funny to me is that somebody is still using S-lites on their car after seeing Sids car in person. I think if I was able to see MSFITOY, I would be broke :lol:. Nice country by the way, where do you live Sid?

RIPPER 07-07-2007 01:27 PM

Love you Jan.

Longboard

We had a quick contest for whose wheels were ugliest, most curb-rashed, and heaviest: I gladly won all three with my uber beat-up "the previous owners' wife drove it to go shopping" S-lites! :grin: :grin: :lol:

Correction my friend...it's your fricken lbad a$$ header minus the cats...:razz: Not that I'm complainin...:lol: But I was so worried about gettn pulled over that I had to chauffer you around like a little old lady...:impatient

The cat muffles the high pitch rasp by channeling all the frequencies through the cells and filters out the highs...The Hushpower 2 will do this without the cat's resistriction...:)

BTW...nice to see you got back in one piece...:cool:

TheWrks 07-08-2007 07:30 PM

My laptop speakers do not do it justice....... you need a bunch of 1000 watts RMS 8 Ohm speakers to even get close to the sound :lol: :nod:
