Slow Day

Well it was a slow day at work so I did the exhaust on my car. It's 2.25" straight back from the flex pipe after the catalytic converter. I used an old stock no name performance muffler and eliminated the resonator.

It sounds pretty good and only has a slight rap if you hammer on the gas. I will also point out it sounds no way like those junk Canadian Tire specials!

I'm sooo sorry I have been trying my absoulute hardest to resist but I wouldn't sleep without asking you....

Did you go for the sewing machine on steriods sound, or the farting rice machine sound???

Sorry sure it sounds great but hey you try resisting this bone.

It's sort of a louder deep toned stock sound. It ain't no fart can or sewing machine. It sounds decent up to 6000 rpm.

It should sound pretty good, we just got a straight pipe on the ranger at work and it sounds real good, not even noisy in the cab.

Nope not doing any exhausts on my OWN time.

It's a 2.0L DOHC 4 cylinder and it just sounds louder stock sound. I hate those fart can mufflers.

Technically those "fart can" mufflers can get you in trouble since they technically don't have a part number on them so they are slightly illegal.
