Need help with my exhaust

[Tahoe442]

Hey guys, currently am running no cats (**** emissions) to a 14" magnaflow muffler out to a 3" tailpipe. I have been having to drive the truck a lot more and am getting so tired of the drone of the exhaust. I am wanting to quiet it down without spending much money but still keeping a nice deep rumble and not really hindering any performance. Has anyone one used a simple straight through resonator to quiet theirs down? any suggestions would be great. Thanks guys

Once the cat is removed or hollowed, pritty much anything you put in it with a straight through design will be loud. Mine is hollowed out in my 95 2 door, and I have a Gibson cat back exaust in it. Under acceleration it has a bit of a bellow- nothing rediculous sounding, and close to no drone on the hyw at 70/80.. But it's not a straight through muffler. I had a 2power sticks on my o4 silverado with the cat still on and I wanted it louder!!

a cheaper solution turn up your aftermarket stereo
should cancel out any exhaust drone

Apologies for hijacking, but does gutting/removing that cats throw any codes?

A long 2/3 Chamber MagnaFlow would tone it down a bit. But anything hollow is gonna sound about the same.

Tahoe442, yes put a resonator before the muffler and that will help or the cheapest is to go to the muffler shop and add a tee after the muffler and cap the tee.

Yes not to mention it is illegal.

It's very illegal if you're in an area that has a testing program for your vehicle. If you don't, then no sweat.

Cat monitoring didn't begin until '96, at the earliest, with the post-cat HO2's.

Illegal regardless. Whether the install is monitored for installation by individual states and their politics on wanting to deal with it is another issue. Epa can not be everywhere at once. Besides I don't see car makers leaving it off for 49-states. Certainly would save some money. Someone must be saying it is required in all states.

 

[sgtpoliteness]

Federal emission requirements are less strict than what's referred to "California" standards that states like NY use. No car can be sold in the US unless it meets Federal/49 state emissions whether Wyoming tests or not.

I should have been more clear. Sunlit is right, it's very illegal one way or the other. However, if no one is checking than you have a better chance of not getting caught.
