Stupid question about the catback

Post by tangerine »

Does a vibe with a catback sound like a bee fartin in a bottle like every other 4 cylinder out there?

The only cat-back that I know of is the Magnaflow. It doesn't sound raspy if that's what you're wondering about. As long as the exhaust has a good mid-pipe resonator or two with a muffler, then the raspy sound should be very minimal or eliminated.
