These are oldschool pics when I had my silver 3L csvt and the exhaust broke apart. I wanted to have fun with it. Holy awesome. Also this car was going retarded rich and when I went WOT then rode the gear down coming up to a light or stop sign at night I could occasionally see the orange glow from back fire under the car. :laugh:

Sorry, no vids or sound clips.


When this happens to the cat-back...

And you have gutted pre-cats and a catless Y-Pipe....

I know exactly how that sounds.

When I bought my SVT it had the center cat removed and a straight pipe welded in with factory everything else. The car rasped badly when it was cold and it bugged me so I had a local shop weld in a glasspack. What I forgot to specify was that i didn't want an alum one. Well fast forward 2 years later and the weld behind the Y pipe into the glasspack broke. So it was dumping a few inches behind the Y pipe and man was it loud. The entire car vibrated when i reved it.
