So I'm pretty sure I have a bad cat and I've been wanting to get louder for a while so I'm wondering if I shoud straight pipe or do something else I have a place that does straight pipes for around 150 I'm willing to spend around that much I live in Houston if you know a spot they do it cheaper let me know or if I should do something else for around that much

The only thing about a straight pipe would be you wont know how raspy/loud it sounds until you put it on.

Good luck!

Hats alright

If you want it to be just loud and that's it, go straight pipe. Probably is cheaper than any full exhaust system also. I heard the HKS exhaust is also pretty loud.

Aite but people complain about the drone anyone with it know how bad it is?

Also will any lights turn on like an engine light or something I have a 07 is250

Wouldn't you need some or at least a little back pressure? I would think straight pipes would sound horrible and be too free flowing, not to mention without the cats would smell horrible in the cabin.

Idk much but I know people who have done it I'm about to ask

I have a valved straight pipe setup.

how is it drone wise and how much did it cost you also did any signs come up form doing it?

When the valve is closed, the car sounds stock. When the valve is open, it's full straight-piped, bypassing the mufflers.
Drone isn't too bad only because I don't have it on 24/7.
I welded my e-cutout in place of my resonator

How much did it run you?

I opted for the Quick Time Performance Electronic Cut-out. You can go with an eBay one, but I'm not too sure how capable the motors are on those

If you're thinking about straight piping your car, I agree with everyone that has the electronic cutouts. They'll save you from cops and quiet when you want it but when you want them loud you can just press a button.

do they take the cats off when they straight pop it and how much more is the electrical cutout?
