Chopping.
 

What would chopping the muffler off and cutting up to the y-pipe do for the loudness of my exhaust until I put the true-dual pipes on?

Would that affect the hp, torque, or anything along those lines?

it will sound like crap, you will not see any HP increase either. may or may not cause HP loss...

Most likely will lose HP.. From what I understand the V6 needs the back-preasure..

And like Jack said, it will sound like shit. :hittingthefan:

Thats kindof what I figured, but I was hoping I was wrong, haha.

Thanks.

yep, a friend of mine did that, i think he may have cut the cats off...or maybe it was just around the y pipe...sounded soooo rice. don't do it. unless rice is what your going for...

Just thought I would add my input since that is exactly how my exhaust is right now, not intentionally though, my pipes were rusting out & I had to get then cut off just so they weren't dragging on the ground:shakeno: I have been driving like this for a few months because I am having some trouble coming up with the money for the true duals I am going to put on. But anyway, it does sound louder but it is kinda ricey as everyone else has said, especially when you get on it. I dont think that I would cut my pipes like this intentionally though if I had the choice.
