2.2 no exahust experament.

Now I know every own flamed the other guys who did this.

Ok I went over to a friends house (he has a srt4) and he said let's take your muffler off like he did to his srt4, so I said sure so we took it off. I sounded just like my friends SRT4 It had the pops gurgals and was extremly deep, What realy surprized me was that there was no rasp at start up and no rasp at the top end even when it was cold, it sounded great All my Fellow camaro friends liked it to. So if you have a 2.2 with a cat back then defenenly try it. Now I didnt keep it like that because it was god awfull loud but just try it and if you like the sound get a electric cut out like I am and place it just before the muffler.

DISCLAIMER: Dont call me rice I didnt keep it like that it pisses cops, fellow drivers, pedestrians and home owners off I am in no way responsible if you get pulled over thats the risk we all take. If you want the sound then get a cutout so you can chose when its loud.

I couldnt belive it. Because I have a pacesetter cat back and it doesnt have a resinator. I thought that it would be raspy.

When I installed my exhuast I had to move the car while the catback was removed. I started the engine and reversed the car maybe 6 feet, and I doubt the engine got anywhere past 1500 RPM's but wow was it loud. I was very impressed.
