Need a louder exhaust. A few questions. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

DScott600 · 03-16-2009

I've owned my 1991 ZR1 for over 6 months now and she is running and looking good after a lot of little issues were addressed a few months ago. Thank you to all on this forum who gave me advise and helped me out with some parts I needed. Now for the next step I'm getting my drivers seat fixed at an upholstery shop where the leather is starting to crack and some foam replaced and both seats redyed the factory color. Total cost about $190.00.

I'm also going to clean the carpet and install a Hurst short throw shifter with a new leather boot. I will also be rewiring the aftermarket stereo and fixing a loose tilt column. Now the big question. The car has a borla cat back with a stock resonator. I will install headers down the road but I need a loud exhaust for the beast. I had B&B bullet cat back on my 03 Z06 and magnaflow cat back with off road X-pipe on my 03 Cobra. Both of these cars sounded great and were loud. A little droan doesn't bother me. If I replace the stock resonator with an X-pipe such as this http://www.magnaflowexhausts.com/pro...productid=6238 would that be enough or would I need to just run staright pipes in place of the borlas. If this X-pipe would work I could have an exhaust shop install it and if it still wasn't loud enough delete the mufflers as well. How does this sound. I here people talking about X-pipes alot but can never find a link or price to any online.
