exhaust / muffler
i took off the catalytic converter and put on a straight pipe and a can muffler months ago done. its too loud with out the silencer and it sounds corny with the silencer on.
should i get a new a muffler or should the one i have sound good if i put a catalytic converter on?
what kind of muffler do you guys have with or with out a catalytic converter and how does it sound (include videos if you have any)

nope i didn't have a mig welder or any type of welding machine so i had a muffler shop weld it in. sucks when you don't have access to certain things and have to pay someone else a ridicules amount of money to do what you could of done lol.

So how much did it cost you to weld your muffs?

it has the piping and hanging kit, you just need a resonator and muffler. im running no catalytic converter (they dont care what you do to your exhaust here)
i just did the piping, OBX racing resonator, and GSX-71 can. sounds amazing, ive gotten nothing but compliments on it. no sound clips yet, i'll try to soon. its a deep sound

wow chrome91! this is definitely the best way to go. A few days ago i priced a setup at autobarn which includes cataylic converter, pipe, muffler box for $429.
Thank you very much
P.S. what size pipe did you went with? I have a warpspeed ypipe i got from a forum member waiting to install.

A second resonator is the best solution. Many companies sell "test pipes" that replace the cat with a straight through pipe or for a little more money make a test pipe with a resonator. The resonator will quiet the exhaust down without restricting the flow as much as a cat. As a bonus, the resonator will cost you less than a cat so its a win-win.

where the cat goes (which is now a straight pipe) or right before the 1st resonator ?

What I was looking into was the WarpSpeed Y pipe and mandrel bent kit listed here, but I talked to Dallas from WarpSpeed this week and all they have are Y pipes and the cat for $285 shipped. I found the same Pacesetter/Monza cat back here for about $285. I've never bough anything from autopartsdealer.com before though. If I could get the kit above with a decent muffler and resonator I'd be interested in that too.

video skills, will get a better one later tomorrow. this was in rush hour and couldnt really step on it because cops here go after loud exhaust
0:50 on is a decent place to start, i''ll try zip tying my camera to my harness bar tomorrow to get it more stable
