And don't forget the smell of yourexhaust that'll bring back memories of a bygone era when there were no cats on a muscle car. [8D]

i have an o/r xpipe as well with the midmufflers. i love the sound, but you will need a tune to get rid of that check engine light

i had to get a custom dyno tune to get rid of mine, but it was definately worth it to see the numbers she puts down.

I have a Bassani X-Pipe. I installed it with stock mufflers and it was plenty loud. I did not need a tune and did not have any CELs. The smell did get to me after while. It started to seep into the house from the garage too. So I put the hi-flow cats in. Quieter, but still noticeably louder than stock.

Smart!! I don't know why people would want to purposely pollute the environment.
