First of all, I LOVE my current setup.... stock headers, o/r Prochamber, and Pypes Mid-Mufflers. The sound is incredible with the single exception of the tremendous trumpeting at mid-throttle.

I have read in numerous places that longtubes can sometimes alleviate trumpeting issues, so obviously I am considering MAC longtubes. Has anyone else experienced this first hand? I'd love to hear your experiences with LT's (whether Mac or not), especially regarding its affect on overall exhaust tone.

Thanks for your time.

LTs have nothing to do with it......is about cats or not and what kind of midpipe you have basically

The person that just bought the shortie headers reported it reduced trumpeting. I kinda like the trumpeting at mid throttle. I'd like to hear what it sounds like outside the car.

It sounds like crap. I have a vert and with my top down the mid-throttle trumpeting sounds like assssss.

And thank God you don't have a 32V engine, that is quite some trumpeting!

There is no cure. You get what you pay for.

the cure is high-flow cats..

i recommend bassani's if you want to keep the loudness but clean it up some.

magnaflow's if you wanna hush it up a good bit

I think LTs make a difference. Everyone complains about flows with an o/r x-pipe but for me it sounds fine. I on the other hand have LTs to go with my o/r x-pipe and flows.

Can someone please describethis trumpeting I read about?
I can't sayI have ever heard it with my Corsas and i would like to know what it is all about.
Thanks.

I get that trumpeting pretty loud with my Bassani o/r x and Bassani Mufflers. I'm very tempted to even put the cats back on or go with an o/r h instead. Don't get me wrong i love the sound but it is raspy at times.
