    i agree completely with this... thats why i went to dual 3 inch right now which may be a little overkill for my motor right now but will be perfect with the new set up i am going to build

      With my cutout closed I have a 2.5" compression bent exhaust system and a Flo-Pro muffler, and it's as loud as yours is with the cutout open...

      I'm just saying. It's not a bad thing. Stealthy.

      But definitely get a 3" system.

            Slowing, cooled, much denser exhaust gases don't do anything for back pressure or taxing the exhaust. Hell go 4" or 5".

                Honestly, folks, here's my thought. The 2.5" with a crossover won't stifle the exhuast as much as people think and on the street, they will be a little more "tame". Cops LOVE loud and fast looking (let's be honest, red alert says "kill", just sitting there), anyway, if you're running the cutouts, when you're ready to get crazy mean out there, you can open them and the gates of hell breathe.

                When you're just driving to a meet, or just cruising, let it look evil, without the note that tells the red & blue to "please bust me, I'm not doing anything now, but if you take away a month's worth of gas now, you've stopped me".

                When you're in a heat, let it be evil. Take it from someone who's donated WAY more than his share to municipalities in the past (hell, I probably paid for their new cruisers, but anyway...). Sorry for the confusion. Just throwing a thought to consider. I love the way the car turned out and don't want to see you get hassled everywhere you take it.

                    You may be confused Brian's car has long tube headers to a 3" Y pipe to a single 2.5" intermediate pipe cat back system.
                    he has a cutout welded to the intermediate pipe but when closed the system is quite restrictive given the mods on the car.

                        Magnaflow is one of the quietest if not the quietest catback used on 4th Gen fbodys. I think the fact that it is only 2.5in has less to do with the volume than the Magnaflow muffler.

                        If he put a chambered system like GMMG on his car you would be wondering how it wasn't any louder with the cutout open.

                        With that being said. Quiet cars FTW!

                          No - it was quiet as hell with the cutout open. We all thought the cutout was closed...

                          Like I said - stealthy.

                          Kinda why I'm sticking with a stock exhaust on the Cobalt when it's supercharged...and an LT front end and badges...stealth.

                              Yeah it's nice but for the price they better have a hot sales girl come and dance for me amongst other things.
