Sounds great at idle. When you rev it the camra seams to distort the sound. Got any drive by vids?

I agree. The sound at idle is nice. Not too fond of the note otherwise, hopefully its the camera

No aftermarket y-pipe nor hollowed cat.
Everything stock except the straight pipe from the cat to the back (no resonators and no muffler).

I like the idle kinda but revving the camera distorts the sound quite a bit.

Not bad at idle, but when reving the camera blows, so a drive by would be good.

The idle sounds sweet. Sounds just like the CORSA catback on my GTO. The revving though....sounds like a leaf blower.

EDIT: didnt notice magnaflow.. thought it was stright pipes from the cat.. not cat back.. not trying to bash the OP

but it has been dyno proven that some catbackson these cars result in a loss in power thats why alot of guys run the stocker with their headers and ect

A stock cat back can support up to 247 whp SAE, so unless you're trying to push more than that

Leave the OEM catback ALONE.

Well Sooner... you found your answer!

That's exactly why I painted my Max yellow... because you don't see NONE around.

Do you know what "originality" is all about?

Rides like yours, I see everyday!! But I don't go and say "that you took or make the wrong decisions" (who am I to say that?).

Cheer up;

I think that might be what he, and some other people here, are going for..... a car that appears pretty normal, but when they pull up next to someone in a flashy "hey look at me car", they completely blow them away off the line.

Personally, you would never see me driving a yellow anything (car, bike, boat or other) because its not my taste. But to each their own......everyone is welcome to their opinions, just realize that everyone's opinion will not be the same.

says who? You and a few others here? In that case it should not be taken too seriously

OP...drive-by clips would be nice. Idle sounds decent though
