Default Cheap exhaust mod??? Bypass the muffler?

I have seen a few pictures on here of guys that have modded the stock mufflers so that there is a joint added to bypass the muffler. This looks like an easy and effective mod to get a little sound and perhaps a little less restriction? Any advice on this? The stock exhaust is just too quiet for me. What do you guys think that have seen this done and heard it? Looking for some cheap mods for now and down the road going to a full system.

Thanks guys.

Rizzo

Hey Riz, What your talking about is called the A&A exhaust mod. I ran it for 2 years before going to the Z06 exhaust I now have. It sounds like the Corsa Indy's. I had about $300.00 in it by the time I bought the tubes, got them welded in place and bought some chrome tips. I've still got the exhaust and would let you borrow it to try it out but from the looks of your sig picture your not close to FL.
