Default Headers only with fishtails?!

Well i was bored and thinking about removing my mufflers and just running the headers with some fishtail ends lol, wonder what that will sound like! Maybe some tight ends to gain some BP!

Please post a video when your done. Better yet, just let me know when your out on the east coast. I can probably hear you coming when your about 50 miles away.

It would be novel, but I bet you would pull them off after about 1 hour...

What is the "BP" that you said you might gain?

It will LOUD. You probably will lose a lot of low end with a setup like that. But you will have that killer fishtail sound on decel too.

you tube has a video of a fell that did it.. personally i love the sound of a fishtail, you can but in some big city thunder baffels and be golden, either that or some lolly pops to give you a bit more pressure, this will require a tuner to run right... even if you leave the stock A/C

that stage 1 DL will not work with a strait pipe set up like that... it will run SUPER lean man. even with the BCT baffels... you will need to map it to get it to run right
