That's some funny shit. I love doing that

Pacesetters, off-road Y-pipe, and a dumped Sweet Thunder

[jrob56]

hmm that sounds pretty good, how long of a sweet thunder do you have on there? do you have any pics of your set up? how loud for everyday and what about interior resonance?

[krazy4]

I voted for the catback first because the other option was longtubes into the stock catback.

Although, I would do LTs, ORY, into a dumped bullet. Probably another $50.

[RaggedRides]

I like the Sweet Thunder because it's pretty tame under your normal day to day routine, but has some balls when you get on it. I can't remember the length, but I'll get back to you on that. No pictures either, but it's easy to imagine. It's simply the resonator welded to the tip of my Y-pipe, so it ends right ahead of the axle. I didn't even dump it.

As far as resonance goes, it's not bad at all. I'll have to try and get an interior video posted up. Nothing in my car shakes, but it might be tighter than the next. I used to have a '95 GT with Flowmaster 40's that'd rattle your ears to death. This one's nice.

did you put a hangar on it at all or is it just hanging loose there? thats kinda the reason i asked about pics...

[RaggedRides]

No, but I should get around to it. I think some good hangers would stop it from banging when I gun it.

I did it all at once, but that was because I did a TD setup and it was much easier that way. As far as what you want first would depend on if you want more power or louder exhaust.

Sup guys, I'm new on here and I'm not familiar with the terminoligy or abbreviations. What does ORY stand for?

[NoE~DaWg]

sorry guys I'm new, what does ORY mean? I'm not familiar with the terminology

They can make any custom size.

I wonder what is the longest you could fit in before the axle on a Y like that? Anyone have an idea?

Its no problem, ORY stands for Off Road Y-pipe which is just a y-pipe without cats and here is a quick reference guide, i used to use it when i first started on here!

Thanks J-Rob.

I did what most people would do back then (1994), catback system and a coldair intake along w/ an underdrive pulley.

I remember going to the track with these mods alone, with aset of BFG drag radials, I was running low 13's on a cold November day.
