Straight pipes and just tips are the way to go for the 4.0. Didn't mean for it to rhyme. =]

here is a crazy idea...

What about no Pipes, No mufflers and no cats....Just headers out of the engine to the bottom and stop them there

Thats a sweet idea headers coming out of the rear of front tires like side exhaust!

Sounds pretty cool ... but would lose it's novelty after a few days ... has to be loud and annoying inside the car for sure ...

Is that with an x or h?....I dunno im not sure about that set up. What if you just had high flow cats with regular axle backs?

Straight pipes.

Check out his other vid after he did the side exhaust. Sounds real nice.

I just got a similar setup done still with mufflers today. Straight pipes with GT takeoff mufflers, cats left alone-it sounds awesome. I'll hopefully get a video on here sometime later/tomorrow if I can find something to record it with. I called about 3 or 4 places in town and they all said that there would be no loss by doing straight pipes as opposed to the X or H and that it was more or less a waste of time and I could bring it back if it was an issue (one of them was a place that specializes in racing exhausts) and it sounds pretty good to me. May just seem more powerful but I highly highly doubt I LOST anything.

i dunno, i think that sounds pretty horrible. and who cares if it sounds awesome at idle, if it sounds like **** when u hit the gas lol

also, even at idle i dont think it sounds awesome. i did this on my car, and its just loud, the note is pretty bad, and i could only do it for about 2 weeks before driving like that drove me crazy

my exhaust sounds better than the one in this vid, I have a definite twitch when I hear rice. I go to school with some of the biggest rice boys you ever did see and this setup is nice, the place did a really good job. Like I said, the cats are still on there and I used the GT takeoff mufflers which are pretty much considered the most conservative. Can't wait to get a vid on here, hopefully I'll have one soon.
