Default $49 Exhaust Mod?

Has anyone welded in those little muffler bypasses?

I'm curious how that sounds...

The A&A exhaust mod sounds great. Its not as loud as the Indys but closer to the Touring sound.

Had it for a year or so before I got my Coras. I will be honest, I would have kept it if I never got a SWEET deal on the Indys. Its quite nice, just be to sure to spray the pipe with some high temp spray paint to protect from rust and the elements. Also, be sure to remove the pipes from the car when you do the welding.

The sound is pretty loud at WOT. Idle is the motorboat and so is revving at idle. X-pipe would be a nice combo with it.

Punkin,

Take a look at A&ACorvette on the right side.

I have the mod with the x-pipe and love the sound. Best thing is you don't have that resonating sound that some systems have. 2.73 gear with A4.

I like mine. For about $5.00 you could do the same thing. Not nice to cut Andy out, after all, he probably saved me about $700.00.

I have this mod on my B&B Triflows; very quiet until you step on it. Quiet at highway speeds. :)

Agreed. My A&A has gotten even louder and better with time and miles. I really like it a lot and have a x-pipe. I also have Andy's rail and frame savers and they are great too. :cheers:

I've got it, too. Like the sound over stock, although I'm thinking of getting the Stinger's. I like the 2 tips over 4 thing. A&A sound is hard to beat for the price.
