My wife, can attest to this..
You can remember how the black truck was.. loud as hell..
She started to get pissy when I told I was getting an exhuast system for the Z..
but after I installed it, and she road in it.. she was happy about it..
Hell You can't really here it inside unless you get on it..
otherwise I hear the tires rolling over the pavement more than I hear the exhaust...
If I buy another Catback it will be Corsa!!!
EXACTLY, people who havent ever owned a corsa just dont understand, my past experience with my Z was the deciding factor in spending 500ish more bucks on an exhaust than I had to. Im ready to get a tune in this thing. For a 7400# truck it flat out runs. My butt-o-meter says a mid/high 15 in stock trim, add a decent tune and teh exhaust will net me a mid/high 13 pass. After I get a transgo jr shift kit in the trans I can bump the tune up a little more, Id be happy with a high 12 on stock tires and amid 13 on 35s

How many miles you got on it man? You gonna use EFI Live or HP Tuners on it? LOL

I still have my HP Tuners but I dont know if I want to tune on it or just leave it with the PPE.

I cant hear my 4" MBRP at all unless Im on it hard core. I didnt want to make it to loud though so I didnt go with the 5" plus I still have my cats on. Im gonna get a cat delete pipe so if I ever need to take it in for warrenty work they wont wanna cancel it.

I also forgot, if the 918s I ordered come in I have to stay up here to install a cam in a buddy's truck, thanks to all those that offered. If I do end up coming down Ill probably end up doing it at tootalls place.

your 4" MBRP sounds stock at idle, hell, the stock muffler, no muffler (catback removed) and 4" MBRP all sound the same at idle to me... in my cramped two car garage.

if you want to hear something interesting, start it without the catback on the truck, pretty damn quiet.

the stock catback will come off in one piece if you have the right tools.

now on the subject of the Corsa.... I 100% agree, my Corsa Touring series is music to my ears, don't get me wrong, everyone with Magnaflows sound good, but that gets annoying for daily driving/ long trips. My Corsa is nice and quiet but sounds awesome at high RPMs

Its true ----- Its dead quiet (even when I rev it) with no catback on it at all.

Thanks for the help earlier

I honestly didnt really feel any difference but I think part of it probably was the fact that I havent driven it enough to even get used to it. I did get my first race today, cclb dodge cummins probably 03-04ish and I think a stick, put about 4 trucks on him from 50 to 95

On the exhaust thing, I want it to be loud as hell when I get on it but quiet when Im cruising and from the hours fo reading and listening to exhaust lcips on on dp it seemed the corsa was the only real option just wish they werent so damn expensive.
