Yep, straight pipes that connect to your rear Y-pipe

Re: muffler (straight pipes?) eliminators (1996man)

Good question. I thought it was just cutting off the mufflers and welding pipe in their place but people on here talk about it like it's an actual part. Anyway I cut off my muffs and welded straight pipes in their place and then welded the stock tips back on. Sounds great, not too loud, just a low rumble and no resonance. I do, however, have the resonator so I am sure that helps.

Straight Pipes = Muffler Eliminators..

I have listened to C4's with Corsa's, stock, Flowmaster's and Borla exhaust. I still think I came way out ahead on bang for buck. I really like the Corsa's though. Spent $70.00 to have a muffler shop build a set for me.

Click the burn baby burn video below to hear ME's.. I was banging the rev limiter in the video..

Muffler eliminators do just that, they replace your mufflers with straight pipes from the catalytic converter. A lot of people like the sound, I think it is a bit loud and the tone leaves something to be desired (IMHO). As for the differences between the Flowmasters, Borlas and Corsas, they all sound pretty good to me though I might prefer the Borlas to the others. I am running a set of the MAD Targa style mufflers which seem to have a nice, deep note though resonance is pretty bad in the area of 1400RPM's...

Yes "muffler eliminators" means just cutting your mufflers off and putting pipes in their place. I think it's kinda a stupid thing myself. ONLY Corvette owners refer to them as Muffler Eliminators, I guess it just sounds too ghetto to have straight pipes. I think it's silly IMHO.

Straight pipes=no cats, no resonators, no mufflers

I have hooker long tubes, without cats, resonators, or mufflers. Now that is true straight pipes. Muffler eliminators, are just that, pipe that goes in place of your mufflers.
