Trumpeting
 

For those who...

Don't know what trumpeting sounds like.....

or

Wonder how loud an OR H-pipe is inside the car.....

This is exactly the way my stingers sounded when I ran an OR H-pipe. I hated the overbearing trumpeting noise. Made it sound like I was really getting into the gas when I was actually driving very mildly. However, at WOT, the OR H sounds like a racecar!

I thought it sounded pretty good :eek: Except staring at the sky made me a little motion sick.

The trumpeting is obnoxious. It sounds like you have a couple of big rig air horns going off in your trunk.

nearly threw up

the pypes mid muffler minimized the that effect for me with the o/r h pipe..acts like resonators sort of

RE: Trumpeting
 

Compare that sound to this one with the same mufflers but an OR Prochamber. Much better in the cabin, but I wonder how it is outside. It's hard to find a stinger/prochamber video where the car is actually being driven.

So am I making the wrong choice by getting ready to order the FRPP Stingers for my GT500? I think they are the 5230-SGT model....my old GT had the GTA's i think and I thought they sounded good.

RE: Trumpeting
 

No Way!!! Get the stingers! They are the best sounding mufflers for our cars PERIOD. ....but they sound different depending on the midpipe.

Check out this vid. I just received my Bassani catted X-pipe, but I'm trying to decide if I really want to try another midpipe or just sell it. I'm concerned that it will be as loud as the OR H or trumpet really bad or be raspy.

RE: Trumpeting
 

Thanks! The midpipe will be stock....for now. Maybe I'll finish it off with a full borla kit from the headers on back down the road.

RE: Trumpeting
 

Doesn't your GT500 have the FRPP X-pipe? If so, that will alter the sound a little. I considered ordering that and splicing it in.

Here's what I'm looking for.
I want to retain the smooth Borla tone.
I want it to sound as deep or deeper than it does now.
I want the exhaust pulses to thump a little more distinctively, which an X-pipe should accomplish.
I want zero raspiness or popping sounds, which an X-pipe usually produces.
I do not want the airy sound at WOT that MAC's have, where the exhaust sounds quieter and more tame the more rpms you have.
I would like to reduce drone, but resonators are out of the question because they destroy the exhaust note.
