You will love it.

z06 Ti with the a&a mod sounds awesome with off-road pipes.

It sounds LOUDER under acceleration than my B&B bullets did with cats.

It sounds almost as loud under acceleration as my Bullets did with no cats.

It sounds almost stock quiet at cruise.

I have 3.42 gears and a stall with my a4, so when accelerating from a stop it growls until the rpms settle, then it's a stock quiet ride at cruise up until ~75mph.

The sound is not as smooth as the bullets, more machine gun like.

But no cats and modded Ti is without a doubt the best setup. I'll never switch again.

I'v got a guy in Fort Worth that welded mine for $75, but you've got to fab the crossover pipe yourself. I believe that Jeff's guy fabbed everything up as well as welded it all.

I'd come help - but I'm trying to kick this cold I've had for the past couple of days...

Sounds Wicked nice! Congrats on a sweet mod!

Do you have to know someone to get the short piece of Ti for the mod? Can you get that just anywhere.....
