Exhaust question
I am planning to get a HKS Hi Power Catback, Invidia Downpipe (catless), and an HKS up pipe (catless). Does anyone know what decibel level this may be? I live in So Cal and I dont want an exhaust that is too loud. Does anyone see any possible problems with this set up? Thanks for the info.

Running catless will make you loud no matter what exhaust you have. Do a search in the technical forums. I remember hearing some sound samples in there.

yeah, it will be too loud, and cops will be staring at you / pulling you over, its too bad the racing scene in california is so bad we have to worry about the law when modding cars..in japan and hong knog, im sure they dont have this problem...but eventually..maybe not in the near future, i think police wont be as strict.

Just a word, if you go catless it'll stick too. Sometimes it stinks like hell. Especially when it's cold.
yeah it does smell really badly. when i was in tahoe and warming up my car, a little girl walks by and tells her mum that car stinks.

Every night in the news someone either totals their car or has it impounded by the copsAnd in Japan, it's not the cops that do exhaust sound-level enforcement, it's the yakuza (Japanese mafia)!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the TXS TBE with RFL muffler and it is ALL catless... it will be installed in about 3 weeks... I also have the crucial racing uppipe... same as above. I'll let ya know how loud it is... I like that nice boxer engine sound... sounds very mean and will eat up small children!
