So tonight I endeavored to remove another restriction to my tire roasting wantonness...
I swapped 40.5 in of sound deadening heaviness for 39.5 in of straight pipey goodness. I had heard tell on here that the stock muffler is not that much of a restriction, but I am not so sure. Maybe it is just the weight savings
, but I doubt it.
I have few performance mods, 85 mm TB, Volant CAI, no ABS fuse (huge mod lol), and now no muffler. I roasted my tires in the same place I have romped on it many times, and only heard mild squealing in the past. In about 15 feet my truck was on its way to 2nd gear, which has NEVER happened before lol.
I would be interested to see if there is actually a dyno detectable difference, or if it is the EPIC sound alone which is making my panties wet. This thing now sounds almost as good as my 85 chevy. Perhaps I will have to upgrade to an 87 mm TB at some point, and add some headers to this bad boy... lol
Anyone else think they saw a difference swapping exhaust, or does it now just SOUND fast...?
