I was thinking about doing something to my truck to make it sound BA I was kinda wondering what the best thing to do to my 22re...

 

haha a 22re can't sound really BA lol but throwin a flowmaster on there and chopping the exhaust about a foot after the muffler with a turn down makes mine sound pretty good! Definately nothing compared to a nice rumbling v8 but it definately doesn't sound like a rice rocket, more like a healthy v6....but a 4 cyl

 

hey dude,

I have a dynomax super turbo cat back, no cat and stock manifold. It sounds a lot better and flows a lot more. Only thing left to do is headers then it would be as good as it gets. You could try that set-up.

 

Take off a few exhaust manifold nuts and let that sucker leak!

 

oh and I have a "deck plate mod" kinda thing to so that makes it a little louder too... it sounds good for a 4 cyl

 

header to straight pipe woudl soud pretty sweet
header to flow no cat sound clip

 

The moron who owned my truck before actually did that. He told me it sounded like a V8. What a tool.

 

header (4 into 1 longtube) no cat, flowmaster and TAILPIPE. Firm believer in tailpipe sounds good. thats for on the street lol. go with no muffler and a stack with a 60 degree bend and a 30 degree cut on the tip. thats what i run and it's flat rude.

 

ha mines the best!! well its not loud but it does do the job i have stock mani no cat and stock muffler does the job right

 

Do you always have a CEL lit up?? cause the downstream post cat o2 sensor would notice the cat was missing? And also, what do you do when you go to pass smog?

 

Not everyone has two o2 sensors...just you lucky cali's do...lol

 

no check eng light ,my o2 sensor is on the lce header ( i swap it out every 2 years but dont really drive on the streets to much)

 

i had my 22r straight piped for a while i LOVED IT!!! until cops started following me cause it was so loud. theres a 7/11 2 blocks from my house they hang out at and when i was on my way home i noticed theyd be on the side of the road and pull out when i went by and follow me, im prolly just paranoid but i welded it up not too long ago just to be safe.

 

only obdII has 2 o2 sensors 95.5 and up i think

 

as far as straight piping goes, i have mine straight with a cat right now, granted its a 3.4 and it sets off car alarms as a drive by. i have 2 12" subs and cranked u can still hear it on the highway it is fricken loud. i have a flowmaster 44 on the way tho, should tone it down a bit.

 

My 89's got two, are you sure your truck is originally a Cali truck?

 

And mine's definately not obdII lol I've only got the self diagnostic box, however I wish it was cause that would make life easier when the CEL does light up lol

 

im not sure exactly on straight piping, but i ran my truck with open header for a short while and it was LOUD. at idle it sounded pretty cool and like a v8, but past that it was just stupid loud. with my stereo turned up all the way i could barely hear my music.

 

i'll check but i'm pretty sure its a cali truck i'll check the 86 runner too

 

You totally need some glass packs and dual 5 inch stacks...that would be fawesome!
