the muffler eliminators kits that are out there for our cars. I would like the car to be just a bit louder, but more importantly to me I would like the sound to be deeper and throaty.

Just wondering.
Thanks

If you do this will you be able to get the car inspected in NY? Just a thought.

I put them on my 96 auto.They were horrible.At low speed the drone inside was very loud and at high rpm there was no sound at all? I luckily found a used Corsa exhaust on ebay the same day and drove 700 miles to pick it up thats how bad it was.But I am very happy now because the Corsa sounds awesome .Zero drone and volume increases with rpm as it should.

Screw the boltons, just go to your local exhaust shop and have it done with some bare tubing. You'll either love it or hate it. Drone is surprisingly nonexistent on my TPI, can't speak for the lt1

I can't believe what people will pay for a piece of steel tubing if you give it a fancy name like "muffler eliminator" ....

I have this old cat I could market as an "organic waste disposal unit"; or maybe a "clean carpet eliminator"?
