Default NEW 07 GT, FACTORY WARRENTY? STREIGHT PIPES COVERED?

I just got a 07 Mustang GT. and Instead of buying SLPs i just did a muffler delete, i put 2 and quartor piping and weleding tips and hangers. i started it up and after starting it up i was surprised how quite it was so i removed the streight pipe. So now its just pipe and no tips, but i weleded the tips back on to the hanger. I got the sound i wanted but still wans't as loud as my old mustang 02 with Streights, Is it bad that i am running with no mufflers or sterieghts pipes, its basicaly like a long mid pipe, will this void my factory warrenty? i never touched the cats. and what is up with the exhuste running over the axle it like bends down, is this why the car is quiter becuse the exhuuste bends so much? Am i huriting my car ? i figured il be fine becuse i ran streights in all my stangs and they ran fine, and i still have my cats for some back pressur. Are the cats just in the front becuse i didn't see many at all. Sorry for all the questions just looking for answers thanks

It just seems quiter than my other stangs. 95 and 04.

Warranty on straight pipes is a wish in wonderland.
Take the little pill and your spelling might improve dramatically.
Down the fox hole you shall go into the world of no pipes
and angry neighbors. The issue of warranty should not
concern you since all gearheads do their own warranty work
and stay away from the long arm of the stealerships.

+1 157db, I'm not going to harp on grammar/spelling but man, you're right; that was difficult to understand.


Paintball, I think you're asking about your sound? As I understand it the 2v motors generate a better sound; one our s197s will never replicate. For your situation, I would say put your LMs back on and pick up an O/R pipe. A nice off-road H would give some serious volume to your SLPs and probably wouldn't cut too deeply into your wallet.

No, I've seen people run no muffler with no problems. As stated above you would be better of with loudmouths or boomtubes and an o/r midpipe

Kill gas mileage? Doubtful.
Hurt your car? Probably not. Might get fairly dirty under there though.

I guess your biggest concern should be the authorities. If you get pulled over running no mufflers, you might be subjest to a fine, but that's something you should check out for your area. Most will tell you to run at least some form of pipe to expell the exhaust gasses from your car. To keep your volume up, refer to my previous post.
