straight pipe question

[kyzomo]

for the guys that have straight pipe on the 6's is it too loud/ do you like it? should i just cut the left side muffler leaving on the right side? i dont want to be extremely loud just want some more tone to my car. vid clips would be awesome

[kyzomo]

anyone?

[speedwrx]

yea im nervous about pretty much the same thing,, im about an hour away from getting my test pipe put in,(which will have me with sri ,testpipe/downpipe and vibrant exhaust with res.), i don't want it to be too loud because i work construction and have to start my car at 5:45 am every morning and i don't want to wake up my whole block. but i must say straight pipe(in my opinion) is a little loud and "gerrgaly" but i have never heard it on a speed 6, my friends girlfriend has a speed6 with the same exact setup that i will have and her car sounds great.

There are youtube videos of this. If I remember, it did not sound very good.

There may be a happy medium. You are all stock now, and you want it louder. Instead of jumping right to straight pipe, try getting a test pipe and cut off a resonator or just buy a new catback. If thats not enough, you can then get a catless downpipe.

If you're talking about straight pipe from the turbo all the way back, don't do it. It's way too loud and sounds like shit. Plus you can't keep it quiet even driving very reserved (shifting at like 2000rpms). It's just ridiculously loud. I know I had a 3 and not a 6 but it's the same motor so the sound is going to be very similar. And this is coming from a guy who had an SRT-4 with one resonator and no mufflers saying that a Speed with straight pipe is too loud, lol.

Straight pipe from the stock downpipe/test pipe back sounds pretty damn good though. But once I put the catless downpipe on and it was straight pipe all the way, it was too loud and didn't really sound good either.

I agree. Any type of aftermarket exhaust will add a nice tone above stock, I don't see any reason to jump right to straight piping. There isn't a resonator to cut off but a test pipe does add a growl and increased power. The CPE single exit cbe is fairly cheap, especially if you talk to Mark at SU, and it's supposed to be pretty fucking loud. That might be right up your alley.

Erod: That doesn't sound too bad but I can imagine how that'd wear on you. And these videos don't really do it justice.

i was gonna just cut off the mufflers and add 2.5" straight pipe. i wanted this route cuz it was cheap. but if thats gonna be too loud then i guess ill have to stick with a test pipe.

[kyzomo]

just as an update i cut the mufflers off and added a straight pipe. first start up i was surprised that it wasnt loud at all. it sounds really good IMO. no drone at all on the highway. for others looking to do this mod i recommend it!

post a vid of this.. I am looking to do a custom 3 inch catback myself..

[kyzomo]

Yah ill send u a vid when i get back from the field in 3 week. If you look on youtube therea a red speed6 with same set up as me that sounds the same. Sounds mean when u get on it.

[Enki]

I know it isn't a 6, but here's what my Gen1 MS3 sounded like with an open stock downpipe:

[kyzomo]

Yup enki thats kinda what mine sounds like. Reminds me of a wrx. Straight pipe matched with intake is pure sex

Ricer?? Taking off the stock muffler and puttin on a fart cannon is ricer. Muffler delete is a cheap mod that sounds good (not loud) for the small mods that i have now.

Urban Dictionary: ricer

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder

regardless of whether you put a fart can on it, you removed the muffer to serve no performance power, just to make it louder. if you were to have a 3" catback, thats different. the piping is atleast bigger.

[boardjnky4]

why not just cut out all resonators and the muffler and put in a magnaflow muffler?

[kyzomo]

As far as i kno There are no reaonators on the ms6. Someone correct me if im wrong. Plus its cheaper to just cut the muffler off than buy magnaflows then throw em on.

[MSMS3]

I have a catless dp/rp into the stock CBE on an MS3. I experimented with my G-Tech Pro RR accelerometer to compare acceleration between this setup and what a straight pipe or a cutout dump would be like. So I temporarily disconnected the CBE and left it hanging and made some test runs to compare to my normal setup. Results:

1. No power gain - the MS3's stock CBE flows extremely well. Since the MS6 duals are a bit more restrictive there is a tiny bit of gain to be expected, but there are much better ways to gain poser.

2. The sound was - - - well, think John Deere diesel farm tractor, o.k.? Except way louder, since the tractor does have some rudamentary muffler.

So, if it's that tractor sound you're going for. That'll do it for ya.

[MY DICK IS SMALL-beautfpowers@gmail.com]

if i run a catless downpipe and a test pipe but keep my mufflers what will happen, i have the dual tbe but it has highflow cats, id like my extra 10whp now please but will i always throw a cel and will i have to change back to cats to pass inspection will it be louder because its loud enough now lol

I really wish I had mod powers so I could ban this faggot... He's bumped like 5 dead threads... and is an all out retard to begin with... I can haz mod powers @rodrigo???

[dyin hawaiian]

I know this thread is old but i feel you can't compare ms3 straight pipes to ms6 the sound is completely different. I'm running 3 inch cat-less down-pipe with stock exhaust and no mufflers and i love it. as long as your just cruising its not bad but step on it and its pretty awesome. Its a little loud on cold start ups but i lived in a condo and i never had any complaints. @Jeremy3eb; he likes it haha

Lol, I didn't even see that.

[h.h.sk1nny]

I had my car straight piped for about a year. 3" piping from turbo that ended right at the rear diff. I had a 20" resonator in it too. It was loud, but not overly. But I am now grown up a little and have a reall exhaust lol. Here is a clip of the striaght pipe setup.

That isn't what I meant.

[shadow6]

I have got my speed 6 set up with it straight piped all the way back off a 3" downpipe. yes it is loud as hell when you are trying to be quiet. yes you probably will get pulled over for it being so loud, but I absolutely love the sound of the exhaust when revving at high speeds. it has such a mean sound to it IMO.

[aaronc7]

so, did the OP end up going straight pipe?

Did you just ask if the OP from 2.5 years ago went straight piped?!

hmm. I don't see fp internals in your mod list.

I hope you're saving for a new engine.

[Colin1337]

Best compromise in my opinion, 3 inch catless downpipe into 3 inch high flow mufflers (I'm using magnaflows) have it a throaty tone, not obnoxious while cruising, but extremely loud at wot
