I looked on stealths site, but it doesn't mention if he has straight pipe exhaust setup like brandonk does. In addition, I have real crappy pc speakers here so it doesn't do it justice.
brandonk: in your opinion if you don't mind, compared to stock what is the verdict?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Smokescreen, After doing this mod, I think a TT system is pointless. The down pipe is a major performance drain, and as long as I have the factory one I'll keep this straight pipe. If I had a larger diameter downpipe, then I'd consider a TT system because of its larger piping.
Compared to stock...if you don't care about higher performance, leave it as is. But if you chip or tuning box your car, I'd say do the mod. You'd spend $30US and always be able to have them add-in a low cost performance muffler if you didn't like the slightly increased whistle and note. I read somewhere here that a guy did the mod and commented that his VW sounded like a big diesel pick-up. Not even close. For a little back ground... I'm 30 and hate the way those big-ass aftermarket Honda exhausts sound. I believe in performance, not being noticed. Hope this helps you.
