[Mfdiablo91]

and also if i happen to get a ported supercharger....does it make a difference?

Why a cutout and straight piped? Kind of pointless since they're both the same. If anything, do a cutout if you really want that loud and annoying as fuck 3800 brraaaaaaap, and then quieter mufflers for every day use

 

[Mfdiablo91]

Electronic cutout would give me the ability to silence my car when it needs to be and i would leave my cat on with a straight pipe

 

[Yaj Yak]

a straight piped supercharged gtp will sound like absolute horseshit.

please don't do that.


do stock exhaust with a cutout.

 

[Yaj Yak]

also stick to simple for spark plugs

104's or tr6's...

 

[Mfdiablo91]

Well iv heard a vid on youtube of a gtp s/c straightpiped and it sounded like a muscle car which is what i want

 

[Yaj Yak]

it really doesn't and it really won't.

i promise you.

 

[bikrboy128]

It will sound more like a chainsaw. Don't do it

I know that, but having just a cat and no mufflers will pretty much sound the same as the open cutout

I'd do maybe a resonator delete with stock mufflers, and then cut out. It won't sound like a muscle car, I promise. Maybe sliiiiiightly at idle, but under any throttle it'll sound like the garbage we're talking about. I have a Borla muffler on mine, and it still sounds like junk at anything over 45% throttle

I assume OP is referring to the exhaust sounding good at idle, which it does.

As for the ported supercharger, no, it will not do anything. I would save the $$ and run a low boost turbo kit. Then that straight piped shit will sound pretty good.

Test it out - unbolt your catback from the downpipe and go for ride. You'll change your mind fast.

Go fer a ride in my black 97 with 3 inch exhaust...as soon as you start to cruise at 55 miles an hour you're gonna want some earplugs.
it's not so bad if you keep it in 3rd gear below 55 miles an hour but don't expect any sort of decent fuel economy that way

Bring a noseplug too unless you like the smell of musty ashtrays.

 

[Mfdiablo91]

Oh because i read when you port the intake and supercharger i guess you get even better airflow? Or something like that....

You do, but for the mods you have, it will do nothing. The best mod (if you stay supercharged) is an intercooler. Hands down best power for the money.

The stock exhaust is pretty decent anyway from what I understand. I would suggest keeping it simple and just adding a cutout. I'm kinda disappointed with the sound of my exhaust. TOG headers, Magnaflow cat, full 3" stainless pipe all the way back with a 3.5" dump, split into two Flowmaster mufflers. Sounds great at idle and low RPMs but it gets pretty raspy at higher RPMs. I expected more from $1200 worth of exhaust plus headers.
