What about the addition of a down pipe? This would be with a greddy EVO2 catback. See, my wife said no more crap done to the car. If she can't hear it she won't know.
Thanks

 

Im running the WORKS hi-flow cat with WORKS downpipe...its a little louder than the stock...if youre running a stock downpipe, youre not going to hear it that much.

 

I'm running works hfc with hks downpipe, could'nt notice a increase in noise level vs. the stock cat

 

It's not a huge difference in sound. If you really listen to the sound of the car you will probably be able to tell but, the wife probably won't.

 

I went from stock to the Ultimate Racing 3" HFC and it sounded the same. I already had a 70mm DP and 3" CB exhaust though so it wasn't exactly quiet in the first place.

 

LOL, let her know that the mods aren't "crap" they serve a purpose and the parts you get will be of high quality and well made.

 

I'm kinda in the same predicament. Does anybody know if the Buschur 3" TBE with a Magnaflow muffler and high flow cat sounds close to stock or any alternatives?

 

Can you say ***** whipppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeddddddddddd.

J/K I know how it goes. Good luck

 

Just do it...if she says, "Wow honey, your car sure sounds louder, did you change something after I told you not to?"

Just say, "Nope".

What's she going to do, crawl under the car?

 

let you know in a week or two ... just got mine in the mail yesterday

 

 

Please do, I am so tired of choking my car with the stock exhaust...

 

GROW SOME *****, tell the wife it's your car and you can do what you want! My gf used to nag me about my modding, but i told her im paying for the car, i can do what i want...you get all those clothes, makes up accessories...why can't i do the same to my car. just make it loud

 

I got the same exhaust with Test pipe and downpipe. Its not significantly louder at idle, the real difference is at WOT.

 

Tell her you'll stop modding your EVO if she stops shopping.

I added a Helix HF cat with the Helix downpipe and HKS exhaust. Sounds the same as when I had the stock cat on.
