I just wonder what a dealer would do if they saw I pulled the cats.

They are deep, but have almost no rasp really a great combo especially since you are keeping your cats.







Yes, they will make them deeper and throatier on downshifting, at least that is what they did with my roush mufflers. I don't thing you will gain too much rasp but I cannot say 100% since I have never heard that combo before.

Yes and no. Going from just my roush axlebacks to them combined with these lethal pipes, the exhaust did get deeper, especially noticeable on both start-up and cruising at lower RPMs. The exhaust just sounds much more throaty and deep compared to just the axlebacks. Yes it did bring in more rasp however it comes with the territory. In order to free up the exhaust and have a loud and deep exhaust, there will be rasp involved. That is unless you want to pair them up with a set of gt500 mufflers, in which case they will be almost no rasp in comparison to my setup and still sound very deep.

Do you guys think this will be high enough or will I have to take it somewhere that has a lift? Thanks.

I installed the Roush AB on my car soon after I bought it and while I loved the sound, the in town driving got to me after awhile. I wanted something a little quieter and is why I ended up going with the GT500 AB.


Hearing your video kind of makes me want to put it back on. Anyway, yours sounds very good.
