What?? I think the Kooks sidepipes look awesome! And they're actually round! This H-pipe didn't go on my car - it was at AED, off one of their customer cars at the shop. Looking under my car, there doesn't seem to be a way to adapt the side pipes, but I added hf cats yesterday and I am 100% happy with the sound now. Coupled with the cam tune, I don't need the side pipes now!

 

When are we getting a video??

 

Glad I will not be the only one running stock mufflers with the Boss Quads for awhile...

 

It feels weird to say. Who changes the exhaust and keeps the stock mufflers? But the combo is awesome. I'm almost afraid that if I got the GT500s it wouldn't sound as good to me, like too harsh or too loud or something.

 

To each their own. Personally I hate them. They are goofy shaped and sit low. I like the boss style being hidden.

 

I still have the stock axle back. Don't plan on ever replacing them either. Can you even hear the gt500's over the sides anyway?

 

Other than the sound out the side of the car what is the benefit of the Boss Exhaust? Cant you get the same sound out of changing the Stock mufflers to something more aggressive?

 

I have em but I don't have a gmail or YouTube account....

 

Best description is the difference between watching a blu-ray movie with a good soundbar, vs. a good 5.1 system. I rarely drove my car with the windows up, because you now get to hear all the pops and burbles and barks that normally you don't get to enjoy, or at least not as much, when they're shooting out behind you. Also, because they're dumping ahead of the resonators and mufflers, it's a little taste of straight pipes, without getting impounded.

 

LakeGuy Thankx That is the best description I have heard. I did not take into account the fact that they are in front of the resonators. Thank you..

The bad thing is you just cost me more Money LOL

 

Come on. Use photobucket or something.

 

I do have that. I'm lazy though I'll get it posted tonight. It sounds like a fricken beast. I'm so getting a ticket.

 

That's how I roll, bro.

 

I will say I feel it's important to use the right restrictor to get the right balance with your axlebacks. I used a 3/4" hole (drilled out the ones that came with the kit). I would not want louder, I think it would introduce a fair bit of drone on the highway, but I think if I went smaller I'd miss it. The 3/4" with GT500's is a superb pairing. And people absolutely look and see what's coming and then point as you roll by. If you like to pose, you NEED Boss Quads.

 

Or...high flow cats and the Solo mid-muffler catback... I used to break a few necks here and there, but now...yeah. Especially with the ghost cam tune. People are looking for a classic musclecar, and then they see a shined up Ingot Silver 2014 on black chrome Niches

 

I have the gt500 with the boss quads with no restrictor plates. I dont think its too loud, but I am wondering how does 3/4" hole change the tone. Does the tone change or it just quieter than no plates?

 

Just quiets it down some and takes the edge off on the highway. IMO it's perfect.

 

Thanks for the response, I am also curious does it take out some of that straight pipe sound? Either way i love how agressive car sounds, amazing tone on deceleration

 

No it does not.

 

I started out boss sides no plates + gt500ab + resonators. Awesome sound but drone? on freeway, so drilled 3/4 plates. This solved the drone part but I'd be hungry for more sound - not necessary louder - just more growling n gurgle if you know what I mean, like a lion.

What the 3/4 plates did was down the volume, the 'tone' stayed IMO.

So I cut out the resonators. Mostly my expectation was to get more aggressive out the back (via gt500's) at woot or at least that was my impression from fellow stanger (he didn't have the sides). Somehow though, I felt the overall sound got louder. It was a bit strange to me.

As of last Sunday, once again the restrictor plates are gone wide open. Well, it's 'wider' open this time because resonators are missing. Originally, my plan was to go for the 7/8 but hmm.

Question here is why the boss sides put on GT's and boss sides on actual BOSS 302 are sounding different. The side pipes on BOSS 302's have this growl like Grrrr (which I like very much) whereas on mine, it sounds more mellow Brrrr. Any ideas?
